"CLARINET VIRTUOSO MICHAEL LERICH AND HIS AMAZING BAND" ... Scott Stegman, Owner, Winter's Jazz Club

Clarinet, Piano, Bass, Drums...VIBES and Guitar (optional)

Long associated with Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw and the “Swing Era”… the Clarinet lost popularity with the music and musicians of the BeBop generation due to the inherent difficulty of the instrument and the required mastery of it in order to perform “mainstream jazz.” Only a handful of musicians have attempted this challenge!

Michael Lerich has devoted the last several years toward achieving that goal…mastery of the Clarinet and bringing it to the forefront of Jazz! He and his ensemble of musicians have revitalized a sound from BeBop, the “cool school” to Mainstream to a mix of Latin tunes.
