Search - Acker Bilk :: Clarinet Moods

For many, Jazz clarinet is synonymous with one man: Acker Bilk. His unique tone, rich, versatile and as expressive as the human voice, has become a benchmark against which other Jazz clarinetists are measured. In the '60s Bilk became a cult figure, a popularity matched by some stunning chart successes. This collection of great standards was recorded in 1995, and demonstrates that Bilk's apparently effortless delivery of melody, and his ability to draw from the clarinet a wealth of colors and tones, remain apparently unquenchable. EMI Gold. 2007.
