Doreen, may you always be blessed. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[StraessleRainer]

I like this music very much! The sound on the clarinet is the sound I like best.

[StraessleRainer]

I like this kind of music. Mrs. Doreens has a sound on the clarinet I like best.

[504promptsuccor]

[gopman64]

[imgame2121]

[jstud78]

MY COUSIN!!!!

[Putingrad]

Ungh, dat jazz 'net.

[Putingrad]

Ungh, dat jazz 'net. Dat 'net.

[mladams2719]

Very talented ensemble. They capture the true spirit of New Orleans. What a great city.

[1955Phoenix]

She's fabulous!

[Tech502]

These people are true kinds of musicians, they don't sell themselves out for money, they play just to play... When you see a smile on a musician's face you can tell he/she are true musicians

Also, Doreen is the first person that I have ever EVER seen flutter tongue on a clarinet... I've been working on it and you honestly made feel that it's possible..

[joethemusician]

@Tech502 flutter tonguing on clarinet is really not that difficult. If you create enough air and don't play with a closed throat it will come quickly. Strauss used flutter tonguing way back when (first example of flutter tongue in classical music). Pretty much every orchestral player can flutter. Hopefully you've gone on to master this technique :)

[COLAENZO]

@joethemusician please post video with you mastering this technic with you doing it...so we can understand...

[Cavadica]

She is absolutly amazing. I wish I could play like that. So cool!

[dymecoar]

Amazing! And a dang good tuba player too! I'm moving to the area in January and I can't wait.

[juliancabrero84]

i simply love new orleans,the best city in the americas =)

[denzelwvu]

Phenomenal! Man, I wish I could wail on clarinet like that!

[kghernan]

Thanx 4 tha video. Ya know...I'm miles away from N.O. but after hearing that sound, it just reminds me were I'm from, and the good that rises from the chaos around. She's great...504 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!:D HAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

[geezerart]

Thanks for this video! Love them!!!!!

[wenkf]

man, swing it man

[DarenSirboughMusic]

[originalsky]

Brings back memories of when I was in N O back in 1990 (or 89).

Thanks for this 'too awesome for words' post

[10supernova]

this is pure awesome, so awesome that its beyond awesome!

[soulsistah100]

Thanks for sending the video. I love it.

[brazilwanttobe]

gopman64, you are the pompous idiot, in French au is pronounced o and for the benefit of Americans or others who don't know that is the Anglaised phonetic version or Eubonics. I am a New Orleans native so I am familiar with the local speech and script.

[Gandalfgrayhame]

This is some amazign clarinet playing

[Riche8970]

The clarinetist is sick, No words to describe that rich Jazzy sound :)

[LastTaboo]

Swingin'. Those high notes are righteous!

[icantplayanote]

that is what i call a clarinet player

[trembar]

wow just... awesome

[markee2006]

Man she got my vote!

[Smokosfunktime]

i'm totally floored. great show.

[Nicksta111]

[gomachiro]

I was impressed by a splendid performance! which live broadcasting wants to watch by all means in Japan^^

[nochartmozart]

Wow! Great stuff!

[vovoneni]

This is a show !!!

[nlmalleus]

We can't hear this style of music in Europe. It's really amazing, and great!

[Vierotchka]

Of course we can hear this style of music in Europe - you just need to do a bit of research to find out where trad jazz is being performed in your area.

[dodddd29383]

she sure is great!

[xcracer2]

Pete aint got nothin' on you!

although he's still great

[kellnergram]

She sure can play that clarinet!

[Vierotchka]

Can she ever! :)

[JSHarbison]

Amazing. I haven't seen Doreen before, but you can bet I'm going to try and find her next time I'm in the Quarter!

[ricefz]

thanks for the heads up--we love listening to her. great video--

[kristidion]

I saw Doreen a couple of times at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. I love her! I have not seen her since the mid 90's. Are you still performing at the NOJHF??? Still love the CD I bought from you there!

[u00k0591]

Doreen is alive and well and still playing. Caught her on Royal Street at the French Quarter Festival last weekend. Pete Fountain played in Jackson Square, and I'd say Doreen gave him a run for his money. A great talent!

[notvalidcharacters]

There is just NO musical experience like a Doreen solo. I don't know where she pulls it out from but she just literally puts me in tears again and again.

Mo' like this, please!

[notvalidcharacters]

THANK YOU for this post, Bilko. Doreen is absolutely *the* best clarinetist I ever heard in my life, period. I lived there until Katrina and I know what it means to miss Doreen's talent.

[jcomfort74]

This is WONDERFUL! I saw Doreen in both '98 and '99, bought a CD from her, and had seen a picture of her when N.O. hosted the Super Bowl. But I honestly didn't know if she was OK after Katrina. She is amazing!!! God bless you Doreen!!

[suprmunky]

This video was amazing! Thanks for posting it. I can definitely say that if I am ever in New Orleans I will try to find her!

[gopman64]

God bless you, Doreen. You made for many a beautiful day in the Square. The most awesome clarinetist I've ever heard in person-- play it, honey !!

[brazilwanttobe]

I stand corrected St. Ann and Decatur Streets. Beignets are a square shaped fritter eaten with or without powdered sugar and cafe o'lait is coffee with cream or milk, eat-in or take-out.

[gopman64]

That's "cafe au lait", you pompous idiot.

[brazilwanttobe]

Thanks for capturing an inspiring performance at the Cafe du Monde where patrons eat their beignets and drink Cafe o'lait. Once a slave auction local at St. Peter and Decatur Sts., background bldg. is the Lower Pontabla Apts. oldest apt. house bldgs. in U.S.A. circa 1750 the other half is on the opposite side of Jackson Square one owned by the city and the other by the state.

[chalalita]

1 w........... Great

[Mamasan41]

OH LOVELY!!!! Blessing on ya'll from your head to your toes!

[foster21]

if i had seen her play that when i was in grade school i would have done all i could to learn that instrument.

[valvetrom]

Thanks Bilko, good stuff

[valvetrom]

Thankyou Bilko, she really is good, even with a sore finger, who is doing the tambourine,you?? Tuba is as well great, A guy named Tubafats was planning to come to NZ, but was medicly hindered . we had Robert Harris ju.Trombone, coming instead . He played with us.cheers

[Albertanator]

Incredible....people with real talent...and yet the music business continues to shove crap no talent down our throats....

Look at this folks...people actually playing instruments and that can sing!!!

[DerSpike]

no doubt... that's one of those artists you listen to and just fall in love with music again.

very inspiring! thank you bilko!

[Ja2zy]

Doreen I Love You. Doreen tu es pour moi un exemple de par ta maitrise de ton instrument et ta bonne humeur. Je t'aime ! France Love Tou.
