Pity the sax is restricted to playing footballs under the clarinet

The clarinettist is obviously a reader more than a jazzer, so this
might also help her in developing her jazz phrasing.


You are quite correct - the clarinettist is indeed a *reader* and, in
her own words, *doesn't do busking*!!

What about you - can you record yourself playing the clarinet? I'm sure
the more the merrier and it would give Iain a chance to construct more
of a 'big band'sound!!

I'm trombone, not clarinet. And, sadly, more ex-trombone. It's one
of those things that aren't worth doing unless you do them every day,
and work moved in other directions many years ago.
