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!

Let us not forget the amazing bass clarinet work on the many SUN RA recordings by Robert Cummings, John Gilmore (yes, he doubled on the instrument), and Eloe Omoe.
I like the Edmund Welles stuff. Another good David Murray is Lucky 4. Christer Bothen discs have some excellent sound and playing on them. If you can get Budi and Gumbls, (also released as Budi Siebert Hmm...) on vinyl you'll probably be glad you did.
The new Stephon Harris CD, Urbanus, has a lot of nice BC work on it. Unexpected, but really good.
