Taking Louis’ Lead: Armstrong’s New Orleans Clarinetists – Acclaimed New Orleans clarinetist Evan Christopher discusses the clarinet magic of Armstrong sidemen Johnny Dodds, Sidney Bechet, Barney Bigard and Edmond Hall. Collectively, these New Orleans reed masters and their varied approaches to creating counter-melodies to Louis’ trumpet lead represent a fascinating “how-to manual” for ensemble playing in the New Orleans style.
