Buddy De Franco's solo is a minor masterpiece.

The clarinet is most definitely a jazz instrument when played by Buddy DeFranco, the man wailing here. He and Clark Terry are still alive, and playing concerts, more than 50 years after this video!

and how "modern" his frasing is with lots of altered notes, marvellous.

Amazing that the white cat could go places the black cats could not. But with the music, they are one.
