   Here are some great clarinetists that should not be overlooked or 
forgotten.

   Phil OIivella...active in New York, most notably with Phil Napoleon.  One 
of the 
   best solo and ensemble clarinetists ever.

   Tony Costa...active in New Orleans with Tony Almerico and others.  
wonderful.

   Lester Bouchon...active in New Orleans, most notably with sharkey Bonano 
and 
   is on many of his capitol recordings.  A wonderful and unique style.

   Boojie Centobie...active in New Orleans with Sharkey, George Girard and 
others
   great clarinetist.

   Bill Napier...active many years in frisco and on many of Bob Scobey's 
great 
   great recordings.  Bill is still active there.

Two come to my mind. First Sal Pace, a fixture at Nick's in NYC in the 
50s. Wonderful man, solid player. The other is Hank D'Amico, a neighbor 
and early influence on me. He was with Red Norvo and Mildred Bailey in 
the 30s. In the 50s, he was a studio muso in NYC and did some free lance 
jazz work around the NY Metropolitan area. Wonderful tone, and a 
non-Goodman mind of his own on solos.</BLOCKQUOTE>
