In my opinion...the best clarinet for jazz is the one that doesn't get in the way of the music: it always--always--does what you want and expect it to do. Without that failsafe connection between musician and instrument, you ain't got nuthin'.

Seriously, why not use your YCL-20 for jazz? From my experience with the model, it's got the guts to keep up with an obnoxious trumpet section; can be played in tune with ensembles that drift way sharp during a session; plus the key work is ergonomic, can be adjusted to perfection by a good tech, and won't crap out on you during a gig. I challenge you to give it a whirl in a jazz setting!
