Clarinets have a long tradition in jazz -- check out Benny Goodman. I would suggest that a few clarinet players who are interested in Jazz Band get together, learn a couple of pieces, and ask the band teacher to listen.
Either solo or any type of band or any type of orchestra
Clarinets are used in many different ensembles, rangng from Orchestras to swing bands. There are also clarinet choirs where all different types of clarinet play in harmony. Clarinets were also used alot in the Big Band era into the 1940s. Glann Millers Big Band found what it was looking for in the 1940s when a clarinettist joined them.
