Benny Goodman Sing Sing Sing Solo - Sergei Vassiliev

The fabulous Sergei Vassiliev performing my transcription of Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing solo at a rehearsal of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic on 2/13/20. Bird's eye view from the bass clarinet chair - that's Kevin Sakai playing 2nd clarinet on the left.
The sheet music to my transcription of this solo is available as a free digital (pdf) download at:

As always: great music; & a wonderful solo.
But - Jeez! The fella to his immediate left must have a titanium reinforced 'licorice stick' !

So good!

[@Vanamutt]

From the thumbnail I could say the guy has an awesome embouchure. Swing time needs work.

[@HotGlueeelouie]

Swing could use work but sounds lovely

[@jaylyngore7138]

Do u rlly need a neck strap to play clarinet? 🤨😒

[@Randomperson-ql5ct]

Hey, I play the clarinet and I don’t use neck straps but that doesn’t mean that’s someone else can’t . He’s doing what’s best for his performance so don’t hate on him!✌🏽

[@zanderbird9198]

For some the neckstrap allows for them to not use the thumb hook and have an easier time with pinky keys. It is all up to preference.

[@mihirmanna1488]

i can’t bend my thumb after playing without a neck strap for more than fifteen minutes. it helps

[@ad-rn5vl]

Its still the same music who cares

[@FNBRVolts]

Can be easier if you have joint issues, and if your a saxophone player it’s easier to get used to. Quite insensitive.
