dude it's Ian. i played 4th chair back in the day when we played this. the past two years have sucked not having pieces like this to play.

damn that was crazy

Makes me so mad my school doesn't allow Clarinets into the Jazz Band. 

[benefielblues]

@RhapsodyinStu This one didn't either. I was actually lead alto first and then suggested the piece to my director at the time. ;)

@benefielblues where did you get the charts from ?

[benefielblues]

@Benzzzim I initially transcribed them by ear but my band director bought the full score/charts for the piece the year we performed it. To my knowledge you cannot just buy the clarinet part. I don't remember which company he purchased them from, unfortunately. :/

LMFAO, the announcer sounds like Jigsaw from SAW. "I WANT TO PLAY A GAME". XD

Thank you to the clarinet for actually improving and not just playing the transcribed solo like everyone else seems to do. good job.

[benefielblues]

thanks! I absolutely cannot stand regurgitating a piece just the same as someone else has done it, even if that means that it does match up to the quality of the original. Not much sucks the creativity out of a piece faster.

If there is a such a thing as facemelting jazz, we accomplished it with that song. AMAZING playing man, as you have undoubtedly been told. Your drummer's not half bad either lol. This is Kenny btw
