The clarinet was a central instrument in jazz, beginning with early jazz players in the 1910s. It remained a signature instrument of the genre through much of the [[big band]] era into the 1940s.{{sfn|Brown|1995}} One of the most recognizable clarinet excerpts is the virtuoso [[glissando]] that introduces the 1924 ''[[Rhapsody in Blue]]'' by [[George Gershwin]].<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Levy|first=Aidan|title=''Rhapsody in Blue'' at 90|magazine=[[JazzTimes]]|date=27 April 2014|url=https://jazztimes.com/features/columns/rhapsody-in-blue-at-90}}</ref> Swing performers such as [[Benny Goodman]] and [[Artie Shaw]] rose to prominence in the late 1930s.{{sfn|Brown|1995}}

Beginning in the 1940s, the clarinet faded from its prominent position in jazz.{{sfn|Pino|1998|p=222}}{{sfn|Brown|1995}} By that time, an interest in [[Dixieland]], a revival of traditional New Orleans jazz, had begun. [[Pete Fountain]] was one of the best known performers in this genre.{{sfn|Pino|1998|p=222}}{{sfn|Suhor|2001|p=150}} The clarinet's place in the jazz ensemble was usurped by the saxophone, which projects a more powerful sound and uses a less complicated fingering system.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/07/05/arts/john-carter-s-case-for-the-clarinet.html |title=John Carter's case for the clarinet |first=Robert |last=Palmer |date=5 July 1981 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |archive-date=30 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090930014315/http://www.nytimes.com/1981/07/05/arts/john-carter-s-case-for-the-clarinet.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The clarinet did not entirely disappear from jazz—prominent players since the 1950s include [[Stan Hasselgård]], [[Jimmy Giuffre]], [[Eric Dolphy]] (on bass clarinet), [[Perry Robinson]], and [[John Carter (jazz musician)|John Carter]].
