  • He makes it look so easy...

  • @Dan474834 would you care to inform us of how to bend the notes upward since it isn't called a glissando. I mean. i wish you were around to tell Gershwin when he wrote it in his compositions.

  • @Dan474834 that's because he's Stanley Drucker! He was with the NYPhil for 62 years!

  • @elsmokingrojo1 not funny anymore.

  • i used to love rock and roll,but then took an arrow to the knee.i love this solo

  • I used to be able to do a glissando on the clarinet. I was nowhere near as good at it as Mr. Green, but I know damn well it's not easy.

  • sounds like a trumpet

  • @ShadowChaosKrystal Haha I know. I'm a clarinet player as well as a trombone player. I've attempted a glissando like that without any luck; I know it's hard

  • @instrumentalambition its easier on brass then it is for woodwind just saying

  • beat that, Squidward.
