A clarinetist (sometimes also spelled clarinettist) is a musician who plays the clarinet. Some clarinetists also play other woodwind instruments, particularly commonly the saxophone, and may therefore also be saxophonists and multireedists.
Here is a list of famous clarinetists, grouped according to the musical idiom with which they are particularly associated.
Stanley Clarke: A Lyrical Bass Player Fri, 02 Nov 2007 10:43:00 -0500 When he was only 25, the word "legend" was already being used to describe Stanley Clarke. Now, he's a king of the acoustic and electric jazz worlds, having won every major award available to a bass player. Hear an interview with the jazz/fusion innovator. Sun Ra: 'Cosmic Swing' Wed, 31 Oct 2007 06:00:00 -0500 Whenever he took the stage, audiences were guaranteed a musical spectacle. Half mystic, half visionary, the pianist and bandleader charted a relentlessly adventurous course through the jazz tradition. Leftover Candy: Top 5 Jazz Halloween Songs Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:03:00 -0500 From the lighthearted and fancy to the haunting and grotesque, NPR station WDUQ highlights some spooky Halloween music you can listen to all year long.

Red Norvo: 'Mr. Swing' Wed, 24 Oct 2007 06:12:00 -0500 He was a sideman with the early stars of jazz, led one of the most admired bands on the swing era, and catalyzed the careers of musicians like Charles Mingus.

Buddy Collette: 'Man of Many Parts' Wed, 17 Oct 2007 06:00:00 -0500 Reedman Buddy Collette has spent most of his music career on the West Coast, out of the national spotlight.
