At the end of last year, a clarinet player I follow on Twitter pointed out that the words "Delta Omicron" produce the anagram "Clarinet Doom". It reminded me of a recording I had made a few months earlier for a @radioliquorice lockdown podcast of Nature Boy (a mysterious and mournful jazz ballad covered by Nat King and Natalie Cole, George Benson, 60s psychedelic band Gandalf and even David Bowie.)
So I suggested to my partner-in-crime at @swing47 that we give it a go at the local open mic. We didn't have much (any!) rehearsal. And there were some, shall we say, opinions, even heckles from the crowd who didn't like the pedal @steevc had on his guitar. I loved it. Maybe it's like Marmite. Maybe you will have other opinions entirely. The clarinet is playing on a synthetic reed and with a massive dose of reverb, because I was trying to make it sound like a rock instrument.
Maybe, just maybe, it is something like Clarinet Doom...? You be the judge!
Here's our second number:
