It's not that Clarinet isn't a jazz instrument, it's that the music for jazz bands doesn't include the Clarinet past the late 40's music. Sure, there are Clarinet Jazz group leaders such as Buddy DeFranco, Eddie Daniels, etc, but for school groups, there just isn't a place for the Clarinet. The Alto Sax replaced it.......

It's quite ignorant of modern day band directors to not allow aspiring young musicians who play the clarinet into school jazz bands. Have the band directors ever heard of Dixieland or Traditional Jazz? Ed Hall, George Lewis, Pete Fountain, Pee Wee Russel etc. These guys were all phenomenal clarinetists and still remain some of the greats!
@LalaLoney: That's a sadly ignorant band director. I bet he's never heard of Sidney Bechet or Woody Herman, or Pete Fountain, or Artie Shaw, or... need I keep going? The clarinet is one of the ORIGINAL instruments on which jazz was first played. Besides, jazz is the music, not the instrument.

@Jazzyhorn111 Rest assured, not all children of today listen to crappy rap music. I am 16 and I admit that I listen to modern music very often (not rap though, I just don't like that genre at all, I just like Punk) I still appreciate this music as much as the music from my time. I'm certain of it that as most kids will mature over time, they will leave most of the "drugs are cool" rap songs behind them and learn to appreciate songs that are more than just "gangster" stuff.
