Are there any CDs of new age/modern clarinet players? If there are could someone please tell me who they are, or their group?

Andy Statman, a Klezmer Player, has a sort of klez new age CD "Hidden Light". Not exactly new age. Sort of a cross-over. Kinda.

Try Marty Erlich or Don Byron. They have definitely been recorded on cd.

Most of Richard Stoltzman's non-classical recordings fall under what I would classify as "new age" or, perhaps, "world" music, e.g., "Garden of Sounds" on Bis. I would also place alot of the music on Gerry Errante's latest recordings in that category. BTW, I highly recommend "Beyond Noend" and, if you like that, you will probably also like "Shadows of Ancient Dreams," and "Electric Clarinet."
Happy holidays,

What kind of stores would you go to to look for these cds? Could I find them at Warehouse Music or something?

I'll second Gerry Errante's music. He tends to collect new music that is "musical" and has a point, rather than a lot of grunts and squeaks.

I ditto the Richard Stoltzman suggestion. I have his Spirits CD (as well as a couple more) and you would definately put it into the New Age/Modern category. It's quite etherial.

Stephanie,
Generally, you will need a store with a good classical section. If you mean Wherehouse Music (a national chain), having been in one of their stores in St. Louis, I would be surprised if you would find much. However, I just checked their website and found alot of Stoltzman, and Errante's "Shadows of Ancient Dreams." Assuming we're talking about the same company then, they could probably order these for you if they don't have them in stock. Stoltzman records for RCA (BMG) and his recordings are widely available, if not locally for you, then through online stores like Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, CDNow and probably others. Errante should also be available from these sources, if they are still in print.
The Errante recordings have also been turning up on eBay. (I think that's where I got all of mine.) I just ran a quick search and found "Shadows of Ancient Dreams" at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1498976499
Starting bid is $5.99 with no reserve price. There are no bids yet and the auction ends in about seven hours.
Mark,
If you're familiar with "Beyond Noend," the Delano Sonata (the second movement is on the CD) has just been re-edited and is available from Luyben Music. It might make a late X-mas gift for your son (or something you could sink your teeth... er, embouchure into -- it's actually not outrageously difficult) if you like Latin rhythms. About $20.
Best regards,
jnk

New Age World fusion. It is not only clarinet but there is a lot of it.

Tony Scott, perhaps better known as a jazz clarinetist, wins the prize for the most exotic of the (usually acoustic, non-electronic) of the New Age clarinetists, Beginning with his 1964 Verve release "Music for Zen Meditation" and his 1968 "Music for Yoga meditation and Other Joys," Scott more or less reinvented the way a clarinet sounds, producing a sort of large bamboo flute timbre and a soft articulation of notes like gently falling water. His 1984 recording, "African Bird, Come Back Mother Africa" is no less exotic, though his tone had changed by then.

Kenny G, who plays sax and clarinet, is your man. He's a fine jazz player who was starving until he learned to circular-breathe and sustain a single tone for half an hour at a time.
The secret to new-age (which is not and does not pretend to be music) is to play a single note or a single phrase continuously until listeners go into a trance. It doesn't hurt if you do too. Avoid harmony or musical nuance at all cost. It wakes up your listeners.
Minimalist music comes close. Listen to Reich's New York Counterpoint for a looooong taste of what suffocation feels like.

I remember back in the 80s when "Gerry Errante" was Gerard Errante. There were a lot of grunts and squeaks back then. In fact he was a big part of why it took me over thirty years to back to a "clarinet gathering."
God save us from the converts. :-)
