Older jazz is much more basic because the musicians did not know as much about their instruments. For example, before John Coltrane's time, altissimo was not popular among jazz saxophonists. Also, contemporary jazz bands often times use more modern recording methods and in many cases the sound quality is worse on older jazz records. Due to advances in recording technology, now it is easier to hear individual parts like the 2nd alto or 3rd trumpet part.
I don't think any jazz musicians played clarinet. Jazz has brass instruments.

Jazz can be familiar or new music. what it must be is improvised...at least to the other than original music. It's a creative genre...as a jazz artist you might add to the tapestry of thousands before you and be recognized for a moment
