Jack Brymer Author

English clarinettist, Jack Brymer, was largely self-taught as a player and performed as an amateur before being invited by Sir Thomas Beecham to join the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He later played in the BBC Symphony and London Symphony Orchestras as well as several chamber music ensembles, and maintained a lifelong pleasure in playing jazz. He held professorships at the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal Military School of Music and at the Guildhall School of Music. He was a frequent broadcaster, both as a player and a presenter, and made many recordings of solo works and with orchestras and smaller ensembles.
