Dennis, you seem willing to go down seldom tread paths in your search for personal tonal color and expression. You might be interested in this article prepared by some acousticians about Dr. Michael White, a traditional jazz clarinetist in New Orleans and some of his observations on why each of the early New Orleans jazz clarinetists had a distinctive and identifiable way of playing. Most of them played the Albert System and many, such as Alphonse "High Society" Picou and Johnny Dodds, used double lip. Dr. White has a book planned on this subject that I will try to review when it comes out. Evan Christopher is following a similar path.

I can't get the URL to work, but the article will come up if you google the following: Science Daily What Gave Early New Orleans Jazz Clarinetists Their Sound.
