The first thing you need to do is pick a blues scale. I usually use the Bb scale (I think it goes C, C#, F, F#, G, Bb, C; it doesn't have 8 notes). From there, you come up with a tune using those notes and improvise from there. The techniques include:
Gliss: drop your jaw to make the note flat and play a note like a low "G". slide your fingers off the holes slowly one by one and the Clarinet makes every pitch possible between notes; like a Trombone does.
Flutter-tounging: This is extreemly difficult to explain, so I suggest asking somebody or try youtubing it. It is a sloppy way of rappidly articulating that severly effects your tone quality, but makes cool sounds. Good luck!
I don't think any jazz musicians played clarinet. Jazz has brass instruments.
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.
In my opinion it's a tie between Dixieland and clarinet marmalade
· Clarinet
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.
Yes The Clarinet also is used in marching bands, jazz bands, and as a solo instrument.

It depends: there have been many famous clarinet jazz players, but as a whole, clarinets are not usually in jazz bands

Musicians can effectively utilize scales for jazz improvisation by learning and practicing various scales that are commonly used in jazz music, such as the major, minor, blues, and pentatonic scales. By mastering these scales and understanding how they relate to the chords being played, musicians can create melodic lines and improvisations that fit well within the jazz context. Additionally, musicians can experiment with different scale patterns, intervals, and rhythmic variations to add depth and creativity to their improvisations.
