Paul Jeanjean, so far as we know, made no recordings, but some of his French contemporaries did. Prosper Mimart, who premiered the Debussy Rhapsody, recorded Schubert's Shepherd on the Rock circa 1920, gives ample evidence on that recording that he used vibrato but nothing so pronounced as the British player R. Kell would later. (In the French players' section, the website Clarinet Central has a few excerpts from Mimart's performance). Louis Cahuzac's early recordings (and later ones also) show no vibrato. August Perier left many recordings (collected on the rare CD "Les Grands Maitres de la Clarinette, Volume 3," LYS 511) that show he used a rather fast vibrato from time to time, also nothing like Kell's. Bonade's recordings (for example, the clarinet solo from the Zampa Overture and the famous solo from Tosca) are as free of vibrato as Cahuzac's performances. So one can marshal evidence from famous, influencial French players and teachers that Jeanjean would probably have been familiar with to argue for or against vibrato.
