As far as I know, I haven't seen a single Clarinet in a jazz band (sure in a marching band, but not in jazz).

My friends who play clarinet are also in the jazz band, but intead of playing their clarinets, their switch/use saxophones instead.

So, no, I don't think clarinet is a jazz instrument.

Is the clarinet popular for classical or jazz music?

The clarinet is a musical instrument that has a rich history in various genres of music, including classical, folk, and military band music. However, it is not as commonly used in jazz music. There are several reasons why this is the case. First, jazz music evolved in New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was heavily influenced by blues, ragtime, and brass band music. Clarinets were not a common instrument in brass bands, and thus, did not play a significant role in the development of jazz. Second, the saxophone became the primary woodwind instrument in jazz. The saxophone’s sound, versatility, and ability to blend well with other instruments made it a popular choice for jazz musicians. The clarinet, on the other hand, has a more classical sound that can clash with the improvisational nature of jazz. Third, the technical demands of jazz require a different skill set from classical clarinet playing. Jazz musicians often play with a more relaxed, breathy tone and use more extended techniques such as bending notes and creating growls. These techniques are not typically taught in classical clarinet training and can be difficult for classical clarinetists to master.
