"Composers were excited about the range of sounds the instrument could produce using "extended techniques": false fingerings, multiphonics, extreme high notes, quarter-tones, glissandi, speech-like phrasing, circular breathing and so on. I heard a lot of virtuosic, meticulous and spirited performances at these outer edges of clarinetistry."

why were you surpised to see Michael Moore?

just curious

Nice article & list.

BTW, I have & really enjoy the 2 new Goldberg CDs.

But then what do I know. I like Anat Cohen too.

Jimmy on tenor in 1965 was something else entirely. Post-Trane, post-lots of stuff.
