The Clarinet wizard Dennis Lichtman is a multi-instrumental musician, who is super-exciting to watch and hear. He is at his best playing the Clarinet, but also plays the sax, the violin, the banjo, guitar and more.

Sidney Bechet and Benny Goodman were two of the most important clarinet players in the history of jazz. Bechet was born in New Orleans, and his musical style was highly influenced by its local scene, inspired by blues and Creole music. He is best known for composing Petite Fleur, an international hit full of feeling and soul. Benny Goodman was known as the King of Swing, making people dance to the sounds of his big band. He was the first to integrate black musicians in his band, and to incorporate instruments like the guitar into jazz music. Two masters of the clarinet, two worlds complementing each other.
