Interesting to see on the Concert Grand Wizard Record that they were misspelling it "coronet" back in the day: it's "cornet" (unless they really are playing crowns!). Hazel and Clarke were two of the great old-time cornet virtuosi, and Clarke especially was well recorded in the acoustic era on both cylinder and especially on Victor disks. His solos have been reissued on Crystal LPs and CDs, and are well worth obtaining. He retired from regular solo playing before the advent of electrical recording, but even on acoustics his tone and technique are well captured. He was an astonishing player by any standard, ancient or modern.

From what I've heard on reissues Clarke made one or two electric solo recordings, plus others as a conductor. He still had a fine tone but his range and technique had diminished.

Clarke (1867-1945) had long planned to retire from solo playing at age 50, which he did. In his case, that was c. 1917. Thereafter he had a long second career as a bandmaster in Long Beach, CA. He also wrote trumpet method books which are still used today, and of course his solo compositions continue to be performed by new generations of trumpeters. Although Clarke did record one of his solos, "Stars in a Velvety Sky," in 1921, "there is no evidence that [he] ever made any electrical recordings" (liner notes to Crystal LP S450, "Cornet Solos/Herbert L. Clarke with the Sousa Band and the Victor Orchestra"). Evidence to the contrary welcomed!

BTW, that Crystal LP is the one I referred to in a previous posting. Highly recommended! Acoustical recordings from 1904-1921.
