Re: Lester Young on clarinet

I am surprised to read a discussion of early NO clarinet players that does not mention Lorenzo Tio Jr., who was teacher to all the renowned NO clarinetists, among them Sidney Bechet, Jimmie Noone, Johnny Dodds, Albert Nicholas, Barney Bigard, Louis Cottrell Jr. and Omer Simeon. I don't know if all those guys stayed with Tio's double lip/Albert horn thing, but I sure hear the common thread in the playing of all those men. Barney Bigard might have gone farthest from the roots after joining the Ellington band.

Lester Young cited the C melody saxophonist Frank Trumbauer (a northern player in white bands) as a model for his tone, and I hear this in both his clarinet and tenor sounds.

nice shot of Lester here, but the clarinet is not in his mouth:
