very very ''personal'' sound..I just love the percentage of musicallity in this project!very very special indeed!5*

[albertsystem]

Albert System from SELMER. This horn is a M serie (30's) owned before by Kenny Davern (not played because Davern just played on Boehm)

[lsdvine]

its not the instrument its the player

[lesterwyoung]

This type of clarinet is known in English-speaking countries as Albert system or simple system, though it is not, parodoxically, easier to play than the nowadays more usual Boehm system. This is the most swinging version of Petite Fleur that I'vr ever heard. Yes indeed, Go Evan.

[jazzgent]

this is very good.

He plays a german system clarinet... His visage reminds me of the great Edmund Hall, who also played the german clarinet system:) Wonderful performance, thanks for sharing:)
