What jazz club does woody Allen play the clarinet in?
Monday nights at the Carlyle Hotel at East 76th and Madison. He oftentimes plays only the first set and then abruptly departs with Soon-Yi waiting quietly back stage from where they walk home together 2½ blocks away to their apartment on Fifth Ave. You can forget about taking pictures, asking for autographs, or even talking to the man, but you can expect to drop north of three-hundred bucks and say you caught the legendary jazz act of Woody Allen playing the clarinet in Manhattan.

Is the Alto Clarinet smaller than the Bb Bass Clarinet?
Yes, the alto is smaller. They both have crooks in the neck just below the mouth piece somewhat like a sax. The Bb is heavy and quite a bit longer than an alto and rests on the ground between your feet during concert performances with the help of a stem stand. The alto is played along side the right leg.
Since bass instruments are generally bigger than the original instruments, I would say yes. The bass clarinet is tall and big, and sort of shaped like a saxophone. The alto clarinet is the same thing, but smaller. And the regular Bb soprano clarinet is straight and usually plastic. They all use reeds (bigger the instrument, bigger the reed). There is plenty of information.
