[Dixielandjazz] No Reeds?

When Al Smith (cornet) came to Victoria on his good-bye tour with High 
Sierra, the group had a clarinet added. The clarinet fit was so good it 
seemed that they had been playing that way forever. My reaction 
was....Great, this is the way it should be!

It doesn't change the fact that they were fan favourites with the old 
instrumentation.
