Artie Barsamian
“(Artie) was very much a natural musician who had an innate sense of melody. Even in his jazz improvisation, one could hear a definite commitment to melodic phrasing, but his biggest attribute, to me, was his sound. He had a liquid tone on clarinet and sax that I’ve never heard in anyone else.’’”
