Re: John Denman's clarinet

Hi, I haven't thoroughly read all the posts on this subject and I may have missed it but somewhere around the late 70s, John Denman was interviewed by Marvin Livengood (after the 1977 Denver gathering). I have a copy of the article but unfortunately the magazine's name is missing from my print. It was called 'The Man with the Golden Clarinets' . My scanner isn't working at the moment so cannot circulate. I believe this may refer to a later pair....not sure.

I spoke to John about his beautiful sound when he cam to Australia and touched on the dangerous topic of vibrato . His reply was "use it, but don't teach it"

On a slightly different tack, and UK oriented..
After reading one post, I did venture into the ad for Denman's own clarinet creation marketed by Bill Lewington it seems and was taken back to the time i lived in London through the great collection of photos from Bill's Shaftesbury Avenue days, a woodwind wonderland for a lad of 18..
I was wondering if anyone has any photos at all taken in/of Bill and Dennis's first shop in Macclesfield Street in Soho ...close to where Ronnie Scott's club stared out.. off Gerard Street and where I bought my first Leblanc in 1960

thanks
Nelson
