Music: Jazz Clarinets

A history of a crucial instrument in jazz bands, this discussion will range from the beginnings of jazz, in New Orleans and Chicago, to the clarinet kings of swing (including Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw), into the innovators of the bop movement. Join us as we sample tracks by the masters of the “licorice stick.” Hosted by Paul Howe. Registration required. You will receive a Zoom link the day before the event.
