I love how the second clarinet can't contain himself 😁

I guar-awn-té she plays hotter than a plate of jambalaya served on Bourbon Street! Wow😮

[@user-pt7mm1so8g]

Well she has a hell of an embrasure she never cracked a note and her intonation was perfect. Maybe Artie Shaw could match her but I know Benny Goodman couldn't. Though she plays more in Pete Fountain's style I would think it would have been great to hear them play together. That would be something to truly remember a life time.
