	Buddy DeFranco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boniface Ferdinand Leonard "Buddy" DeFranco (born February 17, 1923 in Camden, New Jersey) is a jazz clarinet player.
		DeFranco had the bad fortune to begin his professional career just as Swing Music and Big Bands – so many of which were led by clarinet players like Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and Woody Herman – were fading in popularity.
		DeFranco was perhaps the only major jazz clarinet player to adapt to this change, and until the 1980's, he was the only notable jazz musician who played clarinet exclusively.

		The disc opens with a DeFranco original, “You Must Believe in Swing”, a take off on the Bergman-Legrand composition, “You Must Believe in Spring”, performed later on the disc.
		DeFranco begins the head straight, but soon careens off in the same way Charlie Parker did on his famous and unrecognizable recording of “Embraceable You”.

		Considering that he recorded extensively for Norman Granz's Norgran and Verve labels in the 1950s, it is surprising that it took until 1984 before clarinetist Buddy DeFranco finally led a session for Granz's Pablo Records.
		On the first of his two Pablo dates, DeFranco is joined by the cool-toned guitarist Joe Cohn, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Ronnie Bedford, for some standards along with obscurities by Victor Feldman ("Your Smile"), Al Cohn, Bernie Senensky, and Eddie Higgins; he also greatly uplifts Henry Mancini's "Mr.
		Lucky." To his credit, DeFranco (who at that point had ranked near the top for 40 years) had not given up his search for fresh material in which to test himself.
