After you collect all the Eric Dolphy recordings,under his own name and with Charles Mingus,i would seek out some recordings by David Murray.His small group and octet recordings for the Black Saint and Soulnote labels in the 70's and early 80's feature some impressive bass clarinet performances.His primary instrument is the tenor saxophone,he doubles on bass clarinet.The recordings i mention also benefit from superb recording quality.
Bass Clarinet Recordings
I’ve recently been listening to some recordings that feature the bass clarinet heavily. So far these have all been Jazz records, most notably Eric Dolphy on various recordings and a few others. I really like the sound of the instrument with that deep woody tone.
Does anyone have any recommendations for other bass clarinet music, either Jazz or, particularly classical chamber music. In addition to the Dolphy, I have a Herbie Mann record that’s all BC, and some Stravinsky, but I can’t help but think there must be more compositions and/or recordings featuring this instrument. I’d love to hear anyone’s suggestions. Thanks!
