most goated bari sax playing. Deborah Witteveen has literally become my favourite saxaphone player.

[@freddylebanon]

Baritone is beautiful..control range and tone perfectly balanced

[@jamesperdue8355]

I really enjoyed this piece. The baritone sax player is fabulous and she certainly stood out.

[@lamaspacos]

TRUE

[@oscargill423]

The tones on the winds must be the most beautiful I've ever heard on those instruments.

[@TheTwitchyGreen]

this is such a weird but cool and good combination

[@bobwidicker6698]

I found it again!!!!

[@franciscocordeiro1301]

Amazing! The sound of the sax and the contrabass clarinet fused in a very pleasant way. Congratulations to everyone

[@edwincancelii2917]

The baritone saxophone & the contrabass clarinet sound good together.

[@edwincancelii2917]

I love the altissimo & tenor notes on that low A Eb baritone saxophone.

[@easheraustinmusic]

Such a gorgeous sound on those low notes on the Contra. Respect for that 👌👌👌👌

[@edwincancelii2917]

I also love the altissimo & tenor notes on the baritone saxophone.

[@chrisconrod9560]

More bass! I love the way the double bass and clarinet work together to form an intricate, rich sound.

[@DallasCrane]

Wow!! The elegance and raw power!

[@tedmcdowell4790]

Wow!

[@ronm3245]

I played bassoon on this piece in college. Same as bari sax part. Contrabassoon played the c.b. clarinet part.

[@edwincancelii2917]

And honestly, the contrabass clarinet is a little bit louder than the upright bass. I love it, anyway.

[@edwincancelii2917]

For traditional jazz, instead of the upright bass or the electric bass guitar, I think the low C or the low B Bb contrabass, the low C Eb octocontralto or even the low C octocontrabass clarinet should all play on the bass side, as long as they both have a special pickup to plug into the bass amplifier.

[@ecologicaladam7262]

Fascinating sonority!

[@VStaskey]

Really enjoying the piece and the performance. Congratulations to all!

[@edwincancelii2917]

Beautiful neo-classical music.

[@Wileherbal]

Wow the contrabass sounds so good! Too bad you can't get one of those for less than $40,000

[@edwincancelii2917]

I think the contrabass clarinet is a little bit louder than the double bass, because it has a fewer notes deeper than that.

[@johnbender5393]

yeah, title aside, this is much more a piece for the bari :)

[@ibrokemyfingerbowlin]

Well done!

[@benschroth7717]

Dig the manbun.

[@easheraustinmusic]

Lol it's actually very nice as well actually!

[@jmwoods190]

How low doe this contrabass clarinet go? It looks longer than the standard Eppelsheim model. Amazing playing BTW!

[@jujoijo]

Thanks! 😊 Yes it is indeed slightly longer, it goes to low B (Sounding Low A)

[@jmwoods190]

@@jujoijo Wow, that's probably the 1st Low B contra on the planet! And your volume and projection is exceptionally powerful!

[@jmwoods190]

​@@jujoijo PS Do you have an arrangement of the bassoon/bari sax part for bass clarinet? Thanks!

[@jujoijo]

@@jmwoods190 no not at the moment 😬

[@amj.composer]

@@jujoijo wow! so even lower than the selmer models (Low C). Super cool! I play contrabass clarinet, unfortunately we only have a cheap plastic one in our college (I still love it though, I'm very attached to it). I hope to play on one of the good ones sometime in the future.

[@edwincancelii2917]

Is that a low B extension on that contrabass clarinet?

[@jujoijo]

Yes it is!

[@edwincancelii2917]

@@jujoijo Awesome. They should make all low B clarinets, including the low B B flat basset clarinet, the low B A basset clarinet, the low B G basset clarinet, the low B G basset horn, the low B F basset horn, the low B E flat basset horn, the low B D basset horn, the low B B flat bass clarinet, the low B A bass clarinet, the low B G bass clarinet, the low B F contra basset horn, the low B E flat contralto clarinet, the low B D contralto clarinet, the low B B flat contrabass clarinet, the low B A contrabass clarinet, the low B G contrabass clarinet, the low B F octocontra basset horn, the low B E flat octocontralto clarinet, the low B B flat octocontrabass clarinet, the low B A octocontrabass clarinet & finally the low B G octocontrabass clarinet, in all brands, or most brands.

[@ClarinetMF]

Hi, would you be able to send the arranged parts (bari sax and contrabass cl) in an email? Amazing job on the piece, and lovely tone!

[@sheynj1]

Too much bari sax? Maybe.
