If you are a jazz fan Web-surfing maniac, you might have discovered the Page d'admiratrice de Louis Sclavis (page of a Louis Sclavis admirer, www.netlaputa.ne.jp~/lili/) Web site. Fully dedicated to the French clarinetist, bass-clarinetist and soprano saxophonist, this site comes complete with photographs, biography, discography, statistics and a schedule of Louis Sclavis Trio's upcoming Japan tour.
The fact that he is able to elicit such an enthusiastic response from his Japanese fans is a measure of the universal appeal of his music.
While not particularly a crowd pleaser, Sclavis, who has a very large following on the European jazz scene, has a definite idea of what his job is. His schedule is accordingly one of the busiest of all European jazz musicians.
