A native of New Orleans, Tim Laughlin fell in love with the sound of the clarinet before he ever held one after hearing a childhood friend practicing his clarinet. He was nine when he received his first horn and shortly after became hooked on jazz after hearing it on the radio. After finishing high school he began working around town and eventually joined the musicians union where he would meet and perform with some of his most influential mentors. He has recorded a dozen solo CDs among which “The Isle of Orleans” (2003) is an award- winning collection of Laughlin originals. Several of his tunes have been featured in television shows, commercials and motion pictures. Of particular note, he was the first New Orleans clarinetist to ever write and record an entire album of originals.
