Blues for an African Friend...Oh my God! I cannot believe what I just saw and heard. No one I have heard has ever played the clarinet like that. I almost pissed myself listening to his powers of attack on the altissimo register! This is surely one of the best examples of why the clarinet is king in my books! And Tony is the emperor! I have to listen again! I can't believe my ears!

@Melsi1979 A very very cool cat, who played with Bird and Billie Holiday, and then went on his own global musical quest. His "Music for Zen Meditation and Other Joys" is a desert island disc.
