My dear...you are one of the best things about New Orleans. I did my homework before I came down from NY in July, 2019. And am honored to share this city with you. Every time I come up Royal Street and hear the sound of your sublime clarinet, my heart is warmed by the music and, the sweetness. Blessings to you and yours. You can talk all you want for my money, girlfriend!!!
I'll never forget walking through the Quarter and hearing pure high notes on the clarinet...pure, high and totally in tune...effortlessly produced. I just had to find out who was playing the best dixieland style clarinet that I had ever heard in my life. It just kept getting better as I got closer when I finally encountered this incredible artist. So humble, so approachable, so lovely. Doreen Ketchens, you are the very best...better than Pete and all the rest. Brava! May you live forever!
When someone is so familiar with their instrument that it becomes a part of them it becomes an outlet for the expression of their soul. Doreen may be the best example of this I've heard.
I’m a clarinetist, and she is a great player. Ideal playing. She can play exactly what she wants, which is the perfomer’s dream come true. Amazing player.
I have never seen a musician whom I. Have. To. See. Live. Seeing her videos is a spiritual experience. I look forward to the day where I experience it for myself.
How this doesn’t have millions of views astonishes me!! Oh man how I wanted to just dance along the entire time!! Brilliant mix of textures and licks ooohhhh wee that was amazing!!
23secs, I watched that part again and again and again with my jaw on the floor. God-given grace, such gentleness and lungs that could take down the walls. Stunning.. I'm so emotional, tears falling, beautiful blessed woman.
How is it even possible for youtube to think it's okay to throw in an advert at 5:55 in the midst of the song like bruh... come on now for god's sake... Brilliant play from Doreen once again!
Of course Doreen's playing is jaw dropping as usual. But that egg shaker in the percussion is truly into it completely, and what a joy to see and hear. 😅
Wonderfull. Goosebumps. ...not sure how to interpret the contribution of the orchestra....huge difference. Bit stiff, if i would be the director i would transform them at the spot into a Count Basie or Woody Herman-like (thundering herd) big band.
This was one of the most beautiful renditions I've ever heard!!! I've always loved that hymn but Ms Ketchen's solo really did it for me. Moved me to tears. Thank you!
A Busker from Beale St is one of the greatest Clarinetist' in history...Amazing what nature reveals above the highly technically trained academic performers.
Doreen, i was so blessed to get to see the performance you and your wonderful family put on for us at ICA in 2014. Sadly, i've not gotten back to Louisiana since, but really hope to one day bring my wife ro New Orleans to see you in person again!
