seabreeze, thank you for your many insightful comments regarding Paul Desmond.
After reading this comment of yours, "True that attempts at literal imitation of Desmond would accomplish little.", I'm thinking I should have chosen my wording more carefully regarding my question, "Have any jazz clarinetists attempted to duplicate his breathy, understated style?" I should have said, "Are there any other jazz clarinetists with a similar breathy, understated style?" I fully agree that any musician should focus on finding his/her own unique voice, not merely imitating another performer.
