Re: Clarinet standing in for sax

I have played clarinet in various small combos. If the music is written out, the tenor parts will be mostly OK. That said, you should always play what "fits". If you must write out your part, you may be going back to the drawing board a few times to get it right. Playing by ear, you'll be OK after running through it with the band a few times.

In my experience, drums and bass (and any brass) have always meant you don't hear the clarinet. There are clarinetists who play extraordinarily loud, but for most folks I suggest a clip-on mic.
