Dan & Dustin Higgins Jam 1

[markvisoprano]

Pickpocket86, Your question is hilarious! All one has to do is grab any movie out of his or her collection while blindfolded and chances are good Dan has played on the soundtrack. John Williams personally called him to do the alto sax work for Catch Me If You Can. His alto playing alone is awe-inspiring, let alone all the clarinet and flute work he's done. This, boys and girls, is why we practice.

i thought the secret to dan's sound was that manly mustache...i was growing one in hopes of achieving greatness ;).

[TAofMoridura]

I play an R13, and I've been playing clarinet all my life. This is how I would like to sound, but never will ... Great sound, technique, jazz feel and just general musicianship!

[MrAlexhutch]

Great Playing Dan, You remind very much of Eddie Daniels who I met when he was in Australia in 1991,

I took the liberty of letting the facebook site Clarinet Jazz Point know about you, and your skill as a clarinet practitioner

[tctwin]

yeah that sounds pretty amazing.(btw hes using id say a mic that costs 10k)Hes played in probably 70-80pct of the movies and tv shows weve seen.

[justinnico]

wow... amazing tone on clarinet

[carljrenniemusic]

does anyone know what mouthpiece he is using?

[mcminty]

There is "vandoren" in the tags, so I would guess a vandoren mouthpiece. If I were to guess a specific one, it would be the Vandoren 5JB, *the* jazz mouthpiece.

The sound that is being created is amazing. I want an R13!

[DTrinh09]

what song is that? or did you (the clarinetist) improv that... any tips for a beginner in that area of music? (i love that tone of yours.. haha.)
