Jazz at Dusk with Selmer Series 9* (Trailer)

Описание: Listen to the warm tones of the Selmer Series 9* Clarinet at #JazzAtDusk — a weekly showcase of jazz standards and original repertoire, brought to life on the beautifully restored vintage instrument.

The ⁨@HenriSelmerParis⁩ Series 9* is a 1960s clarinet, which I've paired with a ⁨@VANDORENTV⁩ 5JB mouthpiece with an Optimum ligature (plate 3) and hand-adjusted Vandoren V12 3.5 reeds. The barrel is a custom Luis Rossi.

A new chapter is starting with the clarinet that found its way to me, thanks to my dear mentor Alistair and my pursuit of becoming a better player. Pairing with the instrument at Clarinets Direct felt like a scene from Ollivanders. 🪄

I began my journey during the pandemic, when I ordered a basic clarinet online and started learning to play through tutorials. Ever since, I've continued playing and discovered inspiring musicians such as ‪@AdrianCoxMusic‬ along the way. Adrian's mentor was 'Jumping' Jack Gilbert, who gifted him a Selmer Series 9 just before he passed away.

Over time, my mentor Alistair, uncovered that his brother-in-law was in fact, Jack Gilbert. Alistair has been witnessing my progression on clarinet over the last few years and it's thanks to him that the Selmer Series 9* made its way to me.

I am excited to step up with this heart-warming instrument and introduce a new short listening series of jazz standards through Jazz at Dusk.
