the dirtiest clarinet solo 

can we all just take a moment to appreciate the bass player's stank face

no way, I went to school with this guy man's KILLER at clarinet

Squidward’s been real quiet ever since this dropped

1:39 I’ve played the clarinet for 10 years, and I have NEVER heard anyone play a C that high so cleanly (ON PURPOSE). Absolutely stunning!

Everything about this is perfect. The bass player's stank face, the insanely clean runs, the growls and the high notes, and it looks like everyone in the audience and on stage is melting into this man's clarinet rizz

I used to think that below a certain point there wasn't enough air crossing the reed for it to vibrate. I stand corrected.

This is simply amazing. I wish I could get that high C on my clarinet xD

And my high school band said clarinets weren’t jazz instruments:////

There’s a song called Lonely street by count Basie I’d love to see transcribed but totally understand if you don’t want to!

the absolute stank on that was incredible

I have played clarinet for almost 4 years now and this is INSANE to watch

The bassists face says it all

ive waited for this to get transcribed, this is such a good solo!!

Can we appreciate how good his growl is!

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how flawlessly he hit that C? Those high notes are very hard to get right even while practicing and taking your time.

I was already loving this because of the cleanness of the runs and beautiful sound, but then that C came out of nowhere and with such a good tone too, absolutely amazing.

I wished I could be as calm as him

It's so laid back in tuning and beat. And that's a good thing.

This speaks to Russell Procope's intonation and style of bluesy solo technique. He should really try something like "Mood Indigo"

The bassist's groove in the background is 😘🤌🛸

What a legend!! Hits a C8 without even trying! Wish I could hit that note!

Only a legend can play the same 2 notes for 10 bars and make a convincing solo out of it, this guy fucking kills it

Thanks for posting this, much appreciated!!

“ridiculously smooth” 😂😂 what a great performance!

Not the dirtiest but definitely filthy. Wash several times before drying.

The clarinet solo unleashed a pungent, almost tangible stank, its notes oozing with a heavy, musky intensity that filled the room, creating an atmosphere thick with raw, earthy musical vigor.

0:51 damn bro I was making the same exact face as the dude in the back lol

Is he human

damn, double C on a clarinet I didn't know that was possible. then again wtf do I know, I don't play a clarinet

It still blows me that this is my high school jazz band

Best thing I've heard in a long time . Id pay serious money to see him play in person wow

I have played clarinet for 20 years and I NEVER sounded like that. He has MASS TALENT!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ and the SWAG on those notes just hit home so hard it made me feel like I was in New Orleans at jazzfest.

The bass/cello player has the right face 🤣

This is how squidward thought he played.

Was grooving like the guy on bass the whole time

This is what Squidward hears in his head when he plays

I'm proud to say I could nail that high C back in the day. But this guy is in a different league. He's probably the best jazz clarinetist alive.

Holy cow, Victor made that look simple!! He's outta this world

OK. That was really impressive. Hands down one of the most awesome performances I've seen and listened to.

Dude playing the bass is feeling the whole thing.. he's like😒😠🫤😕☹️😐

Squidward could never

I love how at the start the bassist was just vibing in the back

Absolutely amazing

24,000 people made the stank face while watching this video.

I love how everyone in the background is just like 😤

When I was in High School some kid tried to prevent clarinets from joining Jazz band claiming it wasn't a jazz instrument. This video completely blows that stupid argument out of the water.

1:01 *ridiculously smooth*

that c actually made me gasp thats INSANE

As a clarinet player. I aspire to me this smooth and clean! Good god I’m in love! 😮

Omg I went to middle school with this guy! He was so good in middle school band and is amazing now!! 🤩🤩🤩

Phenomenal clarinet playing!

im a rap guy and i think this solo is awesome, this clarinet player is awesome and this genre is awesome

Wish we had him back in the days

Buttery smooth

Everytime this comes on my recommended I watch it. It's beautiful.

He has such a light touch! I love it!

Chills, literal chills

even the notes look mischievous

bro had a good reed that day

Absolute candy for the ears. This is a real treat.

"Ridiculously smooth" is the craziest annotation I've ever seen on a piece of music.😂😂

playing this with a straight proffessional face is wild

Gorgeous.

OMG FABULOUS!!!

Absolutely brilliant. I love playing my clarinet but i cant imagine ever doing that.

That shit was absolutely amazing. Specially when he hit that C that was like 3 octaves up

Ridiculously smooth

God I love squilliam’s playing

This excerpt made me finally understand how Francis Poulenc’s Clarinet Sonata was inspired by Jazz

Nothing but admiration for what it took for him to get there. Bravo.

this is crazy. kid got soul

The dude in the background and his face.

It’s not fair. I wish I was this good at something. LOL Dillard High, you guys are amazing.

Damn! No words! Awesome!!!

Love seeing the young folks ❤❤

My alma mater, Dillard can play the blues

That should be illegal. I got all the chills.

gotta love bassman's stank-face

That C was AWESOME!!

"his runs are insane oh my gosh" LMAO

Damn that's good

fabulous

This is positively septic

and he a bari sax player too, god damn boy

The faces in the background are just as iconic

Absolutely beautiful

I'm a cellist and the syncopation here made me cry

Many many layers of magnificent here.

00:46 Bruh..., the young cat on the bass sells the whole illusion of "dirty". The current title of the video, "the dirtiest clarinet solo" oversells a solo that's superb but not the DIRTIEST. The solo is 7.9/10 but the look of abhorrent filth beyond imagination is 10/10. The entire group, including the clarinetist, is 10/10. Bravo!!!"

Bro was smooth wid it

The existence of smooth jazz implies the existence of rough jazz

The dude behind his was feeling that stank oh my lawd

as a flute player learning piccolo I think that high note was awesome and seriously I didn't even know clarinet went that high I'm impressed

thats beautiful.

That was lovely!!

That cello player really vibing back there

As a clarinet player I don’t understand how this guy can play this music I didn’t even know one of the half notes at the end could get that high

My jaw DROPPED when he played that high C, I wish I can achieve his level of skill someday

Love the stank on the contrabass player

suddenly i'm at a bar trying to forget her, everything's black and white, i got a glass of whiskey in my hand and cigar smoke fills the air. Jesus christ that took me back to the damn 30s or some shit lmaooooooooo i love it XDD
