Re: Lester Young on clarinet

Just read through a great deal of The Chameleon Clarinet. My initial reaction is that this is more the type of historical perspective and research that needs to be done, and I'm heartened to see someone doing it.

The net VanGuzen caste was quite wide--not really a discussion of NOLA, and not meant to be a comprehensive study of specifically New Orleans clarinet. That, perhaps, explains why she didn't mention Batiste or any number of other clarinetists from around the country. American culture is more her canvas, as the title suggests.

It's easy to come up with quibbles (mine would be that consulting Goodman's autobiography would provide an answer to who influenced him as younger player--Leon Roppolo). But quibbles are not really important--it's the outline of her thought and how she goes about presenting her case that is impressive.

Many thanks for the tip. I'll have to go back and read the NOLA section carefully.

Eric
