Re: Lester Young on clarinet

Too bad Leon Roppolo became unstable and died fairly young; he was an inventive improviser.

I believe Larry and Harry Shields were also outside the Tio influence.

Jim Guiffre and some of the West Coast cool school clarinetists acknowledged the influence of Lester Young on their playing. I often wish that tenor sax star Zoot Sims, who loved to listen to accomplished clarinetists (and even played with Goodman) had taken a serious interest in the clarinet himself. With his fantastic sense of time and ineradicable swing, he would have been a great soloist on the instrument. I believe he would have done far more on the clarinet than Guiffre ever did, and he also was of the school of Prez.
