Best Clarinetist Ever

[backyardmusic2011]

I think they are playing over All of Me haha

[MickyDSmileyFace]

I LOLed at the maraca guy xD

[stackelberger]

that bass player has bandages on his fingers... yikes... SO GLAD I PLAY SAX

[ItzJacklynFoSho]

You should rename this to "Best Maraca Player Ever"

[cstahl24]

@HemelDevin because we feel like it thats why I'd like to see you try to do what we do. especially this guy even if it is just improv.

[HemelDevin]

why would anyone genuinely want to play the clarinet?

[Melsi1979]

@HemelDevin Strange question! Let me think.. well if you already know a few different repertories and you still don't like the sound there is nothing to say. However.. there are a few things that make the clarinet unique, one is that a particular repertory (classical, old blues, slow melancholic balkan tunes, french songs etc) could be a whole revelation, like someone discovered a totally different instrument! In addition I believe its wooden, warm and "kind" sound touches many people.

[justaweirdgirl00000]

@HemelDevin maybe because they want to and they enjoy it

[alonzo9772]

I'd definitely tip them a dollar or two.

[Thegooob95]

can't even touch benny goodman. Then again no one can right:p

[georgeprosound]

I'm really sure they are Romanian people:) Whatever the clarinet is great..

[johnny102marvin]

That is pretty good coming from Europe. Dixieland music is not a mainstay of Europeans like you would find in New Orleans, so I have to say that this is pretty good, especially coming from the culture of Spain, the culture of the Flamenco guitar.

[deathstarsBlitzkreig]

that dudes not all that great o_o

[USKilop]

@deathstarsBlitzkreig lol

[k89792]

not bad but tone quality could be better

[Mordreck87]

He have shit sound..... only for jazz

[handycappo]

hes good but not the greatest ever

[ramv36]

Does anyone have an idea of the name of the piece they're performing? It sounds somewhat familiar.

I'd love to give that solo a shot :) if I had some sheet to go from....

[kambionka]

@ramv36 it is song named "All of Me" but there is a lot of improvisation... :)

[gr33ng3cko]

not that amazing i think the maraca dude is actualy better O.o

[cavalierfan2008]

I really don't think he is that good... go listen to Julian Bliss... 

[ClarJMoon]

@cavalierfan2008 Julian Bliss? No no the best clarinet player in the world has got to be Ricardo Morales

[MickyDSmileyFace]

Hes Amazing :o

[Mzrati1298]

lol he average for age

[costelusandrei]

Ny gypsy

[costelusandrei]

midgetmobb I do not think it's something unusual ... .. you heard of Husnu my parrying is that he is the best ... and you may forget to see and shoot it with a great clarinetist

[clarinetparol]

I think he isn't the best clarinetist of ever

[chocotastic]

@IMASIANSNIPA Yeah ok... get outta here ಠ_ಠ

[ClarJMoon]

@chocotastic If you don't actually play/study an instrument, then you get the fuck out.

[chocotastic]

@ClarJMoon Go to my videos page, buddy. I'm currently shooting for a BM in Clarinet Performance. And how about yourself?

[ClarJMoon]

@chocotastic Same here, freshman where you study?

[chocotastic]

@ClarJMoon Indiana University

[ClarJMoon]

@chocotastic I go to UNC-CH, what year are you?

[chocotastic]

@ClarJMoon Junior

[ClarJMoon]

@chocotastic Plans for grad school? Etc.?

[chocotastic]

@ClarJMoon If I can't get a job out of my undergrad (which is most likely,) I'm going to shoot to study at either Colburn, Rice, or Yale. Also if any grad assistantships happen to pop up I figure I'd jump at those as well.

[ClarJMoon]

@chocotastic Hey I'm shooting for Yale (but only for doctorate) too, but I need to finish up my BM and, of course, find a job as well. For my grad, I'll go somewhere where I have good connections (Florida?), work for part time and teach for part time.

[chocotastic]

@ClarJMoon Nice plan. It's good you're thinking about this stuff now rather than later. Best of luck to ya. Have you taken any festival auditions these past few weeks?

[ClarJMoon]

@chocotastic Nope, I'm too busy with Stravinsky and Messiaen ;=;

[Oshtinpowers]

WHAT PIECE IS THIS?

[MegaAustin]

@Oshtinpowers I think it might be "All of Me"!

[ETbass1143]

What were you doing in Madrid,Spain?

[Patinho]

nice :)

[TheLipcious]

...you should of asked for his number|:

[WTJWproductions]

Benny goodman is best :P

[khatar13]

amazing

[skelteli000]

That would be hard to remember :O

[CombatMr]

whats that song called

[prizes99live]

Ahhhhhhh...cant help but to snap mahhh fingers to this stuff :D

[sparebone]

This is amazing, I think the fluidity of his performing is astounding in with all other instruments performing so close and his complete focus is something special, plus Jazz is fantastic

[BanannaSuicide]

Props:)

[Shellyshocker10]

:O awesomeness!!!! I wish I could play clarinet like that!!!

[SoulMusician360]

Well, you can tell they were enjoying themselves :)

Good job guys!

[whyneedacoolname]

my my aren't u people retarded... I can awnser your question people today don't wanna be in the past they try to make music so high tech so un real and some how it sells like for example.. The black eyed peas they're awsome I like em but they can't sing.. its all in the computers... No one today can sing with out it being auto tuned some ppl ar lucky and still can.

[brownt0es]

My my, what has the world gone to? It makes me ashamed how close-minded people are these days.

[cmcrombie024]

My my, where has music gone to? Almost makes me ashamed of some of the crap some people call music today.

[clarinetwolf]

im only grade 1 :(

[EpicAwesomness100]

damn, i wish I could play my clarinet like that...

[NessaK94]

He reminds me of Taylor Lautner. But far more talented in his profession though... in my opinion :P

[MrJowasup]

more like best maraca player ever

[47951876]

Well... yes... ok... his effort is excellent and his performance too but let's all agree that he ain't the best...

[gjc82071]

@47951876 Anybody who thinks that this guy is that best, obviously they've never heard Benny Goodman play.

[47951876]

@gjc82071 Exactly... there are or were way better clarinetists... Just like Benny or others like Martin Fröst, Charles Neidich, Milan Rericha and more other clarinetists...

[ArGyProductions]

Now this is music at its best... Enjoy the good old Jam session

[MR64crayons]

What the heck is in the end of that guys trumpet??

[xXBloodbatXx]

@MR64crayons Mute.

[extremnod]

give him an A for effort.best ever,,,lol

[cstahl24]

the guy playing the bass had to have his wrist popped back into place after hitting that bass so hard.

[gleek11717]

they are fast fowarding it

[cidcampeador1952]

BRAVISSIMO ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[chizuuuuu]

wetness in my pants at 0:49

[FragRaptor]

It is pretty rare when the clarinet over shadows the trumpet player well done.

[fallingondarkness]

....AND HE'S HOT :D

[xXHonigtanteXx]

LOlll....

Does anybody know what they are playing???

[SuperAnimeChicken]

@xXHonigtanteXx hes playing all of me but pretty freakin fast

[boowho2998]

[rune199414]

[DJSteveMakropoulos]

Greeting from Chicago..........We really enjoyed your music

[CutekkittyCat]

[IsaacBuffet1214]

[ChloeTheFlutist]

[violetsugarlemons]

This guy is amazing ....*smile*

[skitty1234567891]

Dear Best Clarinetist Ever, one day, I will be as good as you.

[TheBSG]

"I don't want to stop recording, so instead I'll ruin things with my voice." I know not everyone is a cameraman, but people really are visually oriented when it comes to consumer grade video.

[Chrishowiex123]

This is the best kind of ear rape :)

[NeneAuditore]

the best was maracas man ù.ù xDD

[SuperLalala50]

eh



[mutu548]

bravo ma baieti

[clarinetislife]

Wow I could never do this

[ebenozen]

Very good New Orleans style jazz. For all of you clarinet lovers, check out Doreen Ketchens and Dr. Michael White from New Orleans. Great great music.

[alexgalanvideo]

these are romanian gipsyes!, man!

[NickScherber]

what is this song called?

[GertrudeFin]

oh yeah!!!! clarinets be everywhere man!!! gots to love it! CLARINET POWER!!! this guy is great!!! the whole group is great!!!

[s3xynycbaby]

Oh hey a spainaird like me who also improvises ;) we would get along.

[Metalmanic6896]

I want to go to spain now haha

[DickSloane]

all of me is the name of song

[OneEndedStick]

does anyone know what chords he's improvising to, or the song if it is one?

[hughgpauwels]

@ThreeDinosaurz I agree w/ you. Guy should listen to Sabine Meyer in Germany...

[cstahl24]

improv+spaniard=awesomeness



[shkid]

very sexy :-)

[funnyamericans93]

love italians XD this looks like the mafia band lol

[KiaLuvYooh]

omg, Omg, OMg, OMG! its jacob! i love werewolfs!!!!!!! ohh, my bad. buht uh yea....nice face u got there

[AdiRockers]

they took speed before. that's cheating

[Dzongka]

@AdiRockers They're probably gypsies - naturally inclined towards music.

[whitetigerw10]

He's getting there.

[RugbyFootballer]

Sounds like Dixieland mixed with the Benny Goodman Sound.

[nibiru48]

Happy, snappy and a lot of fun. Great playing, but it didn't quite swing enough for my taste. It was all a bit ahead of the pulse. A bit rushed.

[CookiessNeedMilk]

I'm still learning Hot Cross Buns.........

[gsco82]

Not

[fuumetsu360]

How come my mom said I was the best one??!!!!!!

[debodrumsitck27]

No I'm the best clarinet player ever! My mommy said so xD

[UltimateTurtleKid]

Its pretty impressive noting how hard it is to constantly go up and down the notes that fast on a clarinet. And yes I play clarinet myself

[reluekb]

dau pariu ca sunt romani

[MeltemIstheZombie]

eww my brain!!!! :D its not best clarinetist ever :S best ones that man

watch?v=ERtLIRt_70U

[HeroSkye]

maraca man is playing NO GAMES lol the clarinetist is pretty nasty tho

[sloopwych47]

He is fast, isn't bad , but best clarinet player ever? No, but maybe you have never listen to really good players. Try Doreen Ketchens in New Orleans for instance. I will not say she is the best, but better than this guy.

[luciomiddleschool]

I'm better

[GhandiMcPopeJew]

@luciomiddleschool BURRRRRRN.

[owlgirl1586]

omg



[wavrafamily]

WOW, HOLY COW, HE'S GOOD

[remminder0808]

...you dont see many attractive clarinetists out there these days, this gives me hope

[ThissIssMyUsername]

@remminder0808 Ouch...

[Ster29051]

The maraca player looks like a hunchback from notre dame

[Godspell2007]

Amazing

:s

[ThePassionateMind]

Man, THESE are the folks that should be getting $5/pop for listening, not the recording studios and record labels for their canned stuff (no matter how good it sounds)!

[bikehappens]

This is why Europe kicks ass hahaha... in my town the richies who live downtown would probably call the cops if you just pulled out some instruments and jammed like this....

[eliamiangel1]

I just hope one day I play like that!

[averyfatsnail12]

I like that cool sound at 1:44

[0zzy2012]

They diserve 500 each

[DawepMe]

Woah! He's pretty talented, and the maraca guy is so funny, haha.

[Skorpen85]

There is a difference from amazing to best - that isn't the best, but it's pretty good :)

[MossmanProductionz]

i think we can all say that the lead maraca player is the most talented

[tororunstone]

se ven re bien cagados, pero tocan bien muy bien.

[andrutz152]

frumos si elegantpunctbravopunct

[Bananalisk]

is this is a Louis Armstrong song?

[funtumbler01]

It looks like its sped up! lol

[MrEmrah992]

ivo papazov is the best clarinet playerever.. No body can convert balkan belly dance or balkan folklore music to jazz as ivo papazov..

[DcMoonkin]

not hte best clarinetist I saw, already saw better...

[DYNOSAURx]

what song is this? and by who?

[gremlinplayzeek]

He is Romanian :)



[jennibeardroid]

Not even close to being the best ever, but he's good

[Hozms]

He's hot.

[Nijijinchuuriki]

Wow nice ^^

[paulomsilva]

Fantastic!!

[Chocola127]

The overall effect is fricken awesome

[JANDAR69]

fantastic lively  music !!!

[Cnuggat]

wow they are all awesome

[brandojazz]

shit. cool clarinet playing.

[brainykid800]

It should be changed to hottest clarinet player ever. lol

[stan10jaar]

he isn't a good player at all. badest title in youtube.

i know many many people who play much and much better.

he plays a couple of notes and everyone thinks he's good.

[MrJeonginLee]

@stan10jaar Someone is utterly jealous.

[longfellowlife]

@MrJeonginLee joey did I really just bump into you in the comments on this youtube video O___o

[shaylenmusic]

@stan10jaar OBVIOUSLY he's not the best player ever, but hands down he's a good player. his sound, even in the midst of playing this type of laid back street music, is pretty well refined, and you can hear and see his technique. he's got it join.

[stan10jaar]

@shaylenmusic yea, you're right. he's a bit a good player but not the best player at all.

in about 2 years i can play better

[hellonearth5]

I have to say this is impressive , I'm a clarinetist myself and this makes me feel utterly useless with it. However clarinet is seriously hard after grade 6 believe me! So well done to that guy!

[chrizz323]

Does anybody know what song this is?

[MrTerminader]

@chrizz323 this sounds like their take on "When the Saints go Marching In" to me

[melalat910]

i thought he was in my city NEW ORLEANS !!!!!!!!!!!

[Lordimer123123]

he´s one of the best clarinet players I ever heard oO oh my god! He changed my life :D

[weerdo27]

@sml12341 unless everyone there walks in super slow mo, it's not sped up lol

[chikinlikin123]

Is this a song if so what song is it? Please reply, I am a beginner but I would love to eventually be able to play like this the music makes me feel so happy:)

[neoman91661]

@chikinlikin123 @chrizz323

The song is called "All of Me". They take up the tempo past the usual range, however.

[weirdone17]

lol if i ever tried this on my clarinet it would probably grow arms and light itself on fire

[VMFA115Starloric]

@greatrater

Nope. Madrid, Spain

[modelstatue]

Tht's what I call advanced maracas! That maraca guy was a beast!

[ArtemisApollo26]

He's improvising using scales.

[i8cheeseandbarfed]

IM BETTER I CAN PLAY 2X FASTER!!!!! no, jk!
