Re: Bass Clarinet Superstars?

Think I'll mention Lee Livengood from the Utah Symphony and Steve Hanusofsky from the Phoenix Symphony. Both have held their chairs for quite awhile.

I think there are many good players out there if one were to listen for them.

The late Joe Temperly was wonderful on bass clarinet with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and his arrangement and playing of "Single Petal of a Rose" is perhaps the finest example of bass clarinet tone I've ever heard. Very moving. He first played it for his wife on their anniversary (believe 50th) if I'm remembering the story correctly. Begins at 52:39 on the video link below, performed just months before his passing.
