Recently I picked up the clarinet and I’ve been trying to listen to as much music with it as I can. I really like Artie Shaw and buddy defranco but I’m wondering if you guys have any suggestions on good players or songs?
I haven’t really listened to him but I know Benny Goodman was one of the best, anyone rec any of his songs? Or maybe there’s an obscure rock clarinet player I don’t know about?

Try and find some records by the jazz player Sid Phillips and also although he very unfashionable nowadays a lot of early stuff by Acker Bilk.
