@rubin: thank you for bringing him to our attention. He's phenomenal!

@seabreeze: I bet you, me and @rubin could all agree that he'd be a force regardless of the otherwise working clarinet put before him. This isn't to say at his level of play that such refinements don't matter; just that they'd only make his play that much more beautiful.

@Paul Aviles: Assuming I even had the acumen to make such determinations regarding musicality I haven't the foggiest idea how to answer your question.

I may know what's bad, even what many like, but like you said, we'll never all agree and maybe that's not a bad thing.

I must admit though, I like how Alexander Bedenko (another clarinetist I love) approached this when teaching a lesson here:
