Ed Zubrow, writing of jazz clarinettists:

Perhaps, but I'd counter with Johnny Dodds and my personal favourite from
that era, Omer Simeon.  Without the example of these great players and
others like them, we'd never have had the Copland concerto.  We mightn't
have had the Corigliano either, but I wouldn't mind.
