The Clarinet BBoard

Slides à la Bigard et.al.

Author: Grendel McGrenadill  Date:   2021-11-18 06:07 Hello dear BB, so far I have only been reading here with great interest but alas, I finally have a question that might find an answer here. I only started a year ago on an older boehm clarinet and my long term aim in sound is the "olden" lyrical tone of yore. Now, when I listen to Bechet, Louis and Bigard I hear these wonderful slides / glissandi a lot and rumor has it that these have been inspired a lot by these cats playing the Albert system. Here is an example of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKF2qlzdwlY&t=139s Jumping straight into the gliss down in Bigards solo. I assume this also must be possible with the boehm mechanics? Or is the Albert system so very different that some things dont translate well into Boehm? Thanks a lot for all suggestions; maybe including exercise tips as well?
