Playboy Jazz Festival, Day Two Jun 19, 2007
Miller's strong thumb-driven electric bass cut right through the amplified hash, lifting the crowd with a nod to his former employer Miles Davis ("Jean Pierre") and closing with a fine funk-ified translation of the Beatles' "Come Together." Ever the protean musician, Miller also fiddled soulfully with a bass clarinet during his set. The next act, Dianne Reeves, at first managed to latch onto the energy of Miller's set, but several low-key numbers later, all the momentum was spent. (Variety)
David Murray's Black Saint Quartet Jun 19, 2007
He proved willing to lay back on occasion, handing the reins to pianist Lafayette Gilchrist on the samba-inflected "Kiama" and allowing bassist Jaribu Shahid to guide "Vanished" through foggy passages that Murray's bass clarinet pierced like a foghorn. An untitled excursion into funk was a bit less satisfying, not because the musicians were unable to muster the requisite swing -- there was plenty of that -- but because the piece seemed rather purposeless in comparison to the set's denser, more...

Tempests and Blizzards Jun 8, 2007
"In writing the part, I had his particular sound and technical aspects in mind, so inevitably there will be some traces of Klezmer influence, although that was not my conscious intention. One of the amazing things about the clarinet is that it is at least three different instruments in one, depending on what range it happens to be playing in. It is an extremely versatile instrument, a real technical marvel. And, of course, the middle movement of my piece "Caliban," is for bass clarinet, which I... (Allentown Messenger Press, NJ)

Hyla's rugged and funky "Amnesia Variance" coursed with energy from the opening chord, with the jangly sonority of the hammer dulcimer dominating the ensemble sound, blending at one point in an ear-catching duet with bass clarinet, one of Hyla's favorite instruments.

Opening with solo voices of bass clarinet and cello, the music then broadens into a swathe of glimmering depth. A wandering chant-like melody, based on Bingens own chant Ave Maria, o autrix vite (Hail Mary, source of life) is developed sometimes over a pedal tone and with layers that create an intriguing illusion of resonance.

Influenced by composer Karel Husa's interpretation of impressionist paintings, the way the piece had a colorful sound... (The Daily Campus, CT)
Sonnet 102 alludes to the song of the nightingale ("Philomel"), so here I replace the bass clarinet, whose dark sonority is present in most parts of the work, with the higher B-flat instrument in its upper register to give floating obligato lines, along with the electric guitar played with an E-bow. The dramatic opening of sonnet 123 ("No! Time thou shalt not boast ..."), which I placed second in my sequence, has a strong affinity with the third Synge translation, especially in its sense of...

Under the baton of Leonard Slatkin, the orchestra played with extreme confidence and control, romantic here, dissonant there, and erupted periodically with a cascading palette of tonal colors, ranging from shimmering harp figures to disrespectful snarls from the contrabassoon and bass clarinet. Dramatically, Strauss' "Salome" is a series of increasingly manic vocal exchanges between the title character and three male antagonists, leading to the deaths of two and the humiliation of the third.
