Subject: RE: Earliest jazzers how blues-interested?
There must be something to be written about the history of jazz clarinet and its cross fertilization with klezmer clarinet playing. The role of the clarinet in klezmer changed dramatically between the 1900s and the 1920s, under the influence particularly of Naftule Brandwein and Dave Tarras- the loop closed with 1940s swing and Benny Goodman reimporting klezmer style into jazz.
