Per Wikipedia, "Julian Clifton "Matty" Matlock (April 27, 1907 – June 14, 1978) was an American Dixieland jazz clarinetist, saxophonist and arranger. From 1929 to 1934, Matlock replaced Benny Goodman in the Ben Pollack band doing arrangements and performing on clarinet. Matlock was one of the main arrangers for Bob Crosby's band. He had joined Crosby's group in 1935 as clarinetist, playing with both the main Crosby band and the smaller Bobcats group, but "he was often seconded to write full-time for the orchestra and the Bobcats." He stayed with Crosby until the band broke up in 1942. Matlock's entry in The Rough Guide to Jazz says of him (in part): "Matty Matlock was, with Irving Fazola, the most inspired and spontaneous clarinetist in the Dixieland style, and as a truly original arranger he perfected the sound of 'arranged white Dixieland' as we know it today."
