when you use the WHOLE instrument

A transcription of Paloma Cobbs-Silva's last cadenza on VIP's Boogie performed at Essentially Ellington 2022. This one took a lot of work, which is also I didn't transcribe every solo in this recording. Still, I had to do something from this because of how absolutely incredible it was. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Paloma is definitely one of those students who comes around once in a blue moon. She is one of the most talented sax/clarinet players in high school that I know.

As someone who played clarinet in high school, how does a high school student achieve such a level of mastery??

[@JScaranoMusic]

Probably by starting much, much younger than high school.

[@darthcannoli]

@@JScaranoMusic either that or practicing very consistently for a long time

For anyone wondering, this is what real avant garde playing sounds like. not that horrible crap with random noise that's meant to orchestrate a certain feeling in you. See this is proper phrasing.

[@LeanneHolloway-cy2uo]

[@areussgg]

😭 This is really good, but I didn’t like it. I came to the comments expecting critiques about embouchure or something. You can tell she’s more of a sax player with that embouchure. I don’t think it’s good to play clarinet like that. Now I’m not hating. I think it’s good. I’m a skilled player myself, but the tone wasn’t it, nor the tuning on that last note. I played the blue shades solo not very long ago with a Dub C included. Search up WMHS Nashville Blue Shades if you’re interested.

[@colin_surridge]

Bro really thinks he’s all that. Dawg get ur corny ass outta here

[@maemerma]

[@jonburton1935]

He can use the whole instrument….. but doesn’t sound any good doing it.

[@andyteddy1536]

Idk about you but that tone is heavenly

[@jonburton1935]

I’ve heard solos like this that are equally good and much better

[@edwardholder429]

It's impressive but it really doesn't sound good. There was no real feeling or emotion I felt while listening. All I saw and heard was just notes blizting in my ears. And I'm a clarinetist myself so I know how hard it is, but just to me it really wasn't that good sounding :p
