My friend from school has Artie Shaw's very own Clarinet and recently we took it to New York with the schools Big Band jazz group where we played this :)
There were some nice things in there that i liked, different to the original, but it seems that the soloist is concentrating on the notes and technique sometimes, more than the melodic sense of the music. Overall, i enjoyed it and it is done very well for a young clarinettist. Thank you for posting this!!! :)
That depends on the occasion (I agree with you if we're talking audition or sth like that).. But it's an enjoyable to work on and to listen to, so why ruin your performance with the risk of not getting the high C right if you're not sure it will come out right. Thanks DuyTran16 for posting this video.. I'm gonna perform the piece with piano and drums in february and hadn't heard it in that setting yet :)
I've decided to pick up swing clarinet after years and years of playing classical, so I picked up a bunch of music, this piece being one. You did fabulously! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing such a performance so that others could read it. I think you did a great job! For all the people who have been blasting you (!), just keep playing. Half of them couldn't pull this off at all. Do you still play this piece? Thanks again!
Thanks for playing this! I feel like people are too afraid of stuff like this! =-) I played it on my senior recital with a big band and it was the most fun I've ever had playing my clarinet! I love your ideas! Thanks for posting! Where do you go to school?

seemed like you started having trouble toward the end there, but hell, that was an amazing performance nonetheless. i've watched the original artie shaw clarinet concerto on youtube many times and you did a pretty good job playing it =]
Classical musicians can make the transition, but it really takes a lifetime to master swing and rubato within the beat. Swinging is a style you can pick up quite easily, but to play freely and actually reclaim the beat is a skill only a handful of clarinetists (in this case) can do.
Technique: 8.6/10 Soul: 1/10 I think we used to say "swings like a brick" when I was in music school to describle this kind of preformance. I think you should try the Goodman... it's more in "harmony" with your skill set.
Benny Goodman was hardly classically trained. He studied with a prominent classical clarinetist very early on, but by the time he was a teenager, he was mostly playing and learning jazz.
There is no right or wrong way to do it... it's something that isn't really taught, but you have to figure it out by yourself. I find it harder to use the back of my throat so it's easier to use my tongue.
okay, so i'm playing this for my junior recital, and i don't quite get your interpretation of it. It seems very frantic at times, which doesn't really allow you to do much with the style. yeah, its nice to show off and play fast notes, but its nicer to have style. it sounds like you are playing an etude, and i want to hear jazz clarinet, not an etude.
This does not swing all the notes are right but its the in and out of the notes that need to fly make the heart sigh for of all the beauties Atie Shaw made cry. Ofay
I completely disagree with you, classically trained musicians make the transition all the time without an issue. Don't make assumptions based on one video you watched.
Going off of other folks' comments... go gotta let your playing sing a little here. You have no vibrato and very little (if any) swing in your performance. Lossing up a bit, get rid of the R-in-B tag at the end, and play some jazz! Other than that, nice performance
@Battlefield2Pilot if you are a musician and think that any musician however trained shouldn't attempt to do as much as possible musically then you sir are a fool. not to be insulting, just saying.
Your playin' puts Artie Shaw to shame ! You cant swing for shit. If you ever wanna play the gliss, play a G5 with B4 harmonic, then gliss to C5 thus becoming G6... good luck

Beautifully done.
Makes the clarinet sound so fresh.
Wow Thats so nice ~ So gr8
Gooood job way to go!
Superb performance! I think your way of playing this piece is different yet still amazingly wonderful to listen to. Well done.
that was soooo good....great job!!!
This makes me want to start dancing! Great job!!
My friend from school has Artie Shaw's very own Clarinet and recently we took it to New York with the schools Big Band jazz group where we played this :)
Which of his clarinets?
oh, nd about people who keep mentioning "rhapsody in blue", please get your senses, that's just a glissando/.
You did a great job! You have a really nice tone too.
Quite likely. What a great jazzy sound to emulate!
This is a very impressive performance. Wonderful job :)
True that... Good luck with your performance and I hope to hear the recording some time..

Thank you for posting this!!! :)
I love it! I just wish there was a full-size orchestra to back him on the clarinet.
Whoa, this is amazing. I've just ordered the music to this, here's hoping I can get it to as high a standard as this :D

Do you still play this piece?
Thanks again!
Thank you......sounds like my favorite clarinet-group OK-Dreamband. CD "Clarinet-Dreams" is available for download (amazon, iTunes).
Nicely done. I'd love to hear you with a swinging band....both drums and piano were .....well......interesting and the opposite of swing

nice work, how long have you been playing?
Hello! I'd like to know the site that you bought the scores of this concert.. However you've very good sound with the clarinet.. bye bye and thank you
Can someone please tell me where I can download or previeuw the sheet music for free?
Technique: 8.6/10
Soul: 1/10
I think we used to say "swings like a brick" when I was in music school to describle this kind of preformance.
I think you should try the Goodman... it's more in "harmony" with your skill set.
hey, nice job man.
how old are you?
I just uploaded a video of me playing this piece at a concert.
Benny Goodman was hardly classically trained. He studied with a prominent classical clarinetist very early on, but by the time he was a teenager, he was mostly playing and learning jazz.
@yaelsprikut Yea, we wouldn't want anyone to play anything differently or interpret anything in any other way than the original......
the only part written down was the gliss to C at the end, everything else was played as notated.
There is no right or wrong way to do it... it's something that isn't really taught, but you have to figure it out by yourself. I find it harder to use the back of my throat so it's easier to use my tongue.
sweeeet
Seriously. What? Anyone who says that classically trained clarinetists don't make good jazz players needs to tell that to Benny Goodman.
Very enjoyable-but not even comparable with an Artie Shaw performance. The notes where a bit blurred at times, and the rhythm is often not quite there
No ta mal pero parece k uses un clarinete chino de esos del 150.
The page turner for the piano needs to be a glam babe looking like Betty Grable,Lana Turner or Lena Horne hmm Ava Gardner Helen Forest Judy Garland !
it's called pitch bending... it's easy to learn honestly, just try moving your tongue when you play.
you gotta let it swing
GERSHWIN YA!
but I am disappointed that he couldn't finish of the last part by the original version.
i love your name...lol

Ofay
I agree. at least he finished the piece off in a very clean manner, instead of having a squeak.
I completely disagree with you, classically trained musicians make the transition all the time without an issue. Don't make assumptions based on one video you watched.
You've got the skills, but you've got no swings
nice jazz sound, but not much swing rythm. please give me some more swing and it'll be very excellent.
He needs a bass player.
Classically trained musicians should not try to enter the realm of jazz. A mistake made by this man.

Other than that, nice performance
This guy's swing is a bit square
This is a joke, right?
Pianist needs to step away from the keys. Wonderful clarinet and drums!

@Battlefield2Pilot if you are a musician and think that any musician however trained shouldn't attempt to do as much as possible musically then you sir are a fool. not to be insulting, just saying.
I hate drums.. sorry..
but clarinet is so magnific
in a word, awful - are you even a musician?? you got the notes in the right places thats the only good thing i can say about it
Your playin' puts Artie Shaw to shame ! You cant swing for shit. If you ever wanna play the gliss, play a G5 with B4 harmonic, then gliss to C5 thus becoming G6... good luck
you cant, he's dead...
i think you can play better...
drummer ruined it
