The bass clarinet has an appealing, rich, earthy tone distinct from other instruments in its range. It draws on and enhances the qualities of the lower range of the soprano and alto instrument. It’s best known for its role in orchestras, marching bands, film scores, and jazz music. But what happens when you add a processed bass clarinet to a trap beat or pop hook? What if it completely transforms an R&B harmony? The possibilities are endless and now is an excellent time to experiment.
