I'd like to get some recordings that display the range and character of the bass clarinet. Can you suggest anything that would be involving enough for repeated listening?

Ken, I was browsing at Border's Music in Houston, Tx recently and found a CD called
BASS CLARINET by Renate Rusche. It's very nice. Recorded in Germany, 1994, it has an
English text and history of the bass clarinet. MusikProduktion Dabringhaus Und Grimm (MDG 624 0556-2.)

Don Byron has a new release with NOJO ( Neufeld Occhipinti Jazz Orchestra) called You Are Here.
He plays Bb and bass clarinet. Track #10 on the CD was written by Neufeld for Don Byron on bass clarinet; The liner notes say that it was written as "a nod to the massive quality of Don Byron's bass clarinet playing." I like the CD. KOCH Jazz KOC-CD-7893 (released 2000). www.kochentertainment.com

Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" is a jazz classic. He plays saxes and bass clarinet on it.

I bought the Renate Rusche CD a year or so ago (from Borders at Meyerland Plaza, BTW). She's got a wonderful tone and fantastic technique. I haven't listened to it in a while, but i don't remember very much altissimo playing on the cd. Mostly clarion and chalumeaux.
