Mood Indigo

I have been sick at home because of my leg and today after lunch I decided I've had enough of just lying in my bed not being able to do anything so I decided to do a little bit of Ellington's Mood Indigo on my clarinet for you...

This tune currently expresses my feelings perfectly - and that's exactly what I tried - to express myself via this tune. It's been a week since I played my clarinet last time, but still - if you have any comments, especially suggestions, let me know.

I apologize for the low quality, but this is from my mobile:D

All you ski fans who subscribed - don't worry, I'll upload some skiing, but probably not before march... This year is very busy for me so I won't spend that much time on skis:(

You have possibly the most god awful tone in the history of the clarinet. You should never be allowed to ever play a clarinet again. You need to stick your head in the toilet bowl for awhile.

Except for my freedom to choose whether I do or don't play the clarinet you of course might be right. I know that it sounds awful and thank you for your discouragement. I've just washed my head in the toilet bowl as you suggested. I hope you feel better now:)

Lovely playing, with lots of feeling, just what is needed on this tune. 5 stars from me

Oh, thank you so much for your feedback - I know I have yet much to learn - I hope one day I'll be able to play like you!

Nice glissando effect at 0:39-0:40 :)

Thank you... These small glissandos are not very difficult on clarinet... I hope one day I'll be able to do the two and a half octaves one from Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue...

your vibrato sounds just like sidney bechet's

Hehe, thanks, I'll try, but I think I'll have to do a lot, lots, lots of work really, before even trying that... Happy new year! Cheers!
