Dear Bill:

Try this one for your moldy old ears.  Singer Lisa Nilsson with  
Swedish master clarinetist Putte Wickman on "Unforgettable".

Too bad not many Americans know about Mr. Wickman. He is superb. For a  
better listen to this man's genius, see:

for your ears but great technique)

Or here on "Just Friends" with Eddie Daniels.

And there was always Ake "Stan" Hasselgard, another Swede. Hear him on  
Sweet Lorraine at:

and Ove Lind, another Swede. Hear him swing on "Swing in F" (Teddy  
Wilson on piano) at:

Lots of GREAT JAZZ around from lots of great European players. Trad  
and otherwise.
