A native of New Orleans, Tim Laughlin began playing the clarinet at the age of nine. Shortly after, he heard jazz on the radio, focusing his musical journey for the rest of his life. During these formative years, Tim spent as many hours listening to jazz as he did practicing. His first job was on a Carnival float at the age of 15 with schoolmates. After graduating high school, he joined the musicians union where he met some of his mentors that would help shape his playing at “The Conservatory of Bourbon St.” In 1992, Laughlin was a member of The Dukes of Dixieland and performed at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops. Featured in many festivals throughout the world, he has toured over twenty countries including a goodwill US State Department Tour one month after Hurricane Katrina. Tim has a dozen CD’s under his name. In 2003, he recorded “The Isle of Orleans”(Gentilly Records), an award winning CD of his own New Orleans jazz originals. Historically, Laughlin is still the first New Orleans-born jazz clarinetist to ever release an album of all originals in this genre. Two of his originals can be heard in a recent 2016 major motion picture called “Mr. Church,” starring Eddie Murphy. Many others have been used in television, commercials and movies. In 2014. At home, Laughlin is very much in demand and has been a local favorite at The French Quarter Festival and N.O Jazz & Heritage Festival and has enjoyed making his living in New Orleans for the past 40 years. He stays busy playing top clubs like Snug Harbor and performing in front of orchestras. His latest CD, “New Standards” is a continuance of Laughlin originals in his unique New Orleans-style.
