Yes, it's Martin again, but this time playing some Klezmer! Klezmer is one of the greatest genres of music around. It also doesn't hurt that it often features the clarinet so predominantly.

Giora Feidman is one of the greatest Klezmer players of all time. Check out his recordings for some great fun. Klezmer is so unique in that in emulates singing so well. It really is fascinating and has to bring a smile to your face.

A very fun video that shows yet another amazing talent of this great player.

The fun starts at 1:20 and again at 3:50, unless you speak Swedish.
