The Klarinettenquartett Cl-4 was one of a few clarinet chamber jazz ensembles in the 1980s. This international ensemble based in Germany existed from 1985 to 1988. The group integrated elements of jazz, folk, and European concert music into their music without wanting to belong to the Third Stream.[1]
