Intreresting, the whole topic of the "trained" clarinetist and the Jimmy Giuffre, pick-it-up-and-play-it sort of clarinetist. I am the latter, but playing Brahms, not jazz, and taking lessons (with less than stellar results). I think tonguing is probably the first step the "trained" clarinetist takes. For the home-schooled crowd, it just doesn't come naturally.
I stay with what I love about the instrument, and I play as often as physically possible. That's the best I can give to it, the closest I can come to being a true player.
