. . . seems to be the predominant mode of playing these days. But I still can't help but feel nostalgic for the greater variety we used to have in this aspect of playing technique.

Yes, that's one way to talk about the prevalent modern clarinet sound in classical music. I see Kam was a Charles Neidich student at Juilliard, and his students have become a leading contingent in the clarinet world, so that may have a lot to do with their common approach.
I do think it has a lot to do with conceiving the clarinet mainly as a blending orchestral or chamber music instrument, but not a solo instrument, despite its potential power.
It was too strong a blanket statement!
Actually, I think a lot of modern players play too dark and dull, without the ringing quality I like.
Kam uses a cloth-type ligature that takes a lot out of the sound to emphasize smoothness.
But I also don't care for thin and bright, edgy, glassy, raw, you name it, I hate it...
Actually, Goldilocks is about my Fav.
Just right.
