My Mom played the clarinet. They actually won a marching band competition and she played at the rose bowl in 1967 I think. Maybe 1968. I love the instrument myself and wish it was used more. My favorite clarinet solo is actually in a van halen song called "Big bad bill is sweet william now." Alex and Eddies dad or grandpa or someone plays it. Cool track lyrically and musically for VH.

I like clarinets in jazz as well. The only problem is whenever I bring it up with my Band Teacher she says they don't belong in jazz, then she chews me out for something else. She's the bomb xd

While it is true that they are not part of a "traditional" jazz band, Clarinets are jazzy instruments in my opinion. Especially when a really good player improvises a lick in the higher octave. It just sounds so.... jazzy.

Clarinets make great jazz instruments specialy if the soloists or doubler is as good as Eddie Daniels.

Frustrated Jack315 i think any instrument can be used to play jazz really? yeah i think clariney jazz does sound cool, flutes can sound cool in it too I'm having a hard time envisioning banjos and bagpipes, but maybe...just maybe. ooo, and how about kazoos and dijeriidoos? Oboes! Recorders! Slide flutes! I played the clari for 1 year before I switched to the sax. Sometimes I miss the clari. I think the clari is used frequently in jazz. Duke Ellington and Leonard Bernstein are two biggies responsible for casting the limelight on the clari, and they did a good job. 3nodding

Perhaps a bass clarinet, as that's a hip sound, but otherwise, I don't particularly care for the sound.

The clarinet is a jazz instrument. It was MADE for jazz. Unfortunately, a lot of people seem unenlightened, and yes, as a clarinet player, I don't get to play jazz. About time they come back!

Depends. If the song and band can handle it. I mean, the jazzband I played in was too loud for a clarinet. But think of all the great jazz clarinetists, why shouldn't there be?
