Mort Weiss: A Giant Step Out and Back

Read "Mort Weiss: A Giant Step Out and Back" reviewed by Sammy Stein


A while back, flamboyant and forthright clarinetist Mort Weiss sent an email saying he was going to make a free form album. Frankly, it was hard to believe as no-one had been more against free form jazz than Weiss. For around two years he had been taking free form apart, decrying many players and the genre, ...

Mort Weiss: I'll Be Seeing You

Read "I'll Be Seeing You" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Clarinetist Mort Weiss is a character. That much is readily evident by reading his All About Jazz column, The Mort Report.

Mort Weiss: Raising the Bar: The Definitive Mort Weiss

Read "Raising the Bar: The Definitive Mort Weiss" reviewed by Samuel Chell


In late 2006, clarinetist Mort Weiss told his unusual story to R. J. Deluke in an exclusive interview for All About Jazz, appropriated titled “Mort Weiss: Sets Sail with Clarinet."
