Can anyone recommend any contemporary jazz clarinet (principle instrument) players.
Some that I am familiar with are:
Anat Cohen
Don Byron
Eddie Daniels
John Surman
Ken Peplowski
Louis Sclavis
Paquito d' Rivera
Tony Scott
Any others?

cheers- preston

John Barnes and Tony Coe from the UK.

I'm afraid that Tony Scott hasn't been contemporary for a few years now. His last cd, 'A Jazz Life', was a fantastic piece of work but unfortunately it was also a little prescient.

Tim Laughlin out of Nola, does a little of everything though more on the traditional side.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I knew that Tony Scott had passed away. Guess I just think of his music as being quite contemporary.

His version of Can't Buy Me Love on his Montage CD is great.

Woody, speaking of Dexter Gordon's performance in "Round Midnight" said that "For a musician, Dexter Gordon in a great actor". Dexter's reply was; "I wish I could say the same of his clarinet playing."

What a great list! Thank you all. Too bad there were not more female players, beside Anat Cohen who I really enjoy.

Check out Michael Moore. His Jewels and Binoculars album is pretty much a staple in my music library.
