Thanks for the great replies, Robert - I always appreciate hearing your stories and experiences...and love gleaning knowledge about the New Orleans scene from you.
Before she ran off with the Post Modern Jukebox crowd for their 2017 tour, Chloe Feoranzo was starting to make a big splash down there in New Orleans. Before that, (2010 or 2011), a young lady from the UK came over for a couple weeks and blew everyone away - I can picture her, but I can't remember her name - I think it was Amy Roberts - she was a seriously great player. I believe she's tearing up the UK now - mostly on saxophone). Aurora Nealand doesn't seem to play a whole lot of clarinet - but what I've heard sounds great! There's also quite a female contingent in the "up-and-coming" group...folks like Susan Gecker in the DC area, and Tere Coats in the Austin, TX area...and others that I know I'm forgetting at this moment. Of course Anita Thomas is a pioneer! (I love her YouTube performances with Kim Cusack - Festival Feetwarmers.)
At any rate - thanks again - I'll be busy "researching" (listening) this weekend! I appreciate the time you and Tony have taken to respond! You've both provided a few new names to me, and reminded me of names that I had neglected for a while.
I'm still open to any other names too in case anyone still wants to chime in (I'm hoping Eric might join in, as we don't have many "east coast" or "midwest" names in our list yet!)
