Low Eh!

This is a post from my old blog “From The Horn”.

I have a clarinet student who is almost ready to start transcribing their own solos, and at this point, I usually provide a solo so that they can see the process of transcribing. I suggested this clarinet solo by Edmond Hall on Caravan, and here’s the original post that it came from (in 2013).

During a lesson with Tim Price, he had me listen to Edmond Hall. At first, I thought (and said) , “That sounds like Bob Wilbur.”

It wasn’t – it’s a great solo by Edmond Hall on Duke Ellington’s tune – Caravan.

Check out his use of dynamics. The piece builds into the last bridge, where Hall blows over it and then takes it home.

Enjoy!
