Re: Dixie licks for clarinet

As others have pointed out, the best thing to do is listen, listen, listen - to the masters of the idiom. New Orleans players like Johnny Dodds, Sidney Bechet, Irving Fazola, Jimmie Noone, Willie Humphrey, et. al - also Darnell Howard who wasn't from New Orleans but played the idiom. There are hundreds of tracks by these guys on youtube. I'd also recommend listening to Evan Christopher - a modern-day clarinetist who plays the New Orleans jazz on Albert system clarinet

Just fyi, most guys who still play the music dislike the term "dixie" or "dixieland" and prefer calling it "traditional jazz." All-too-often those other terms conjure up images of guys in striped coats and strawhats who know ten tunes.
