I wish there were five prolific jazz alto-clarinetists.

Joe Lovano is the only player I can think of off the top of my head who's doubled specifically on alto more than a handful of times - though I'd love to be made aware of any others.

I met a young lady years ago who had dedicated herself to playing exclusively alto clarinet, not surprisingly I never hear from or of her again.  Beautiful instrument.
