Re: Bass Clarinet Superstars?

I'd put Adison Evans in the regular list. She's got one of the best bass clarinet sounds I've ever heard--not a trace of buzz, hardness, or brittleness but round and resonant. She seems to have a more distinctive voice on bass clarinet than she does on baritone sax.

Yuen-Soo Yang is a excellent clarinetist on both soprano and bass instruments.
He has a very light but mellow sound and fleet, effortless technique.

Both Adison and Yuen-Suo manage to steer the bass clarinet away from a harsh, hard, barren kind of sound and invest it with real romantic lushness, color, and expressiveness. I'd like to hear how Adison sounds on the Vandoren BD5 bass clarinet mouthpiece.
