McAllister, Scott | Black Dog (for Solo EFX Clarinet & Wind Ensemble)

Live performance of McAllister's virtuosic rhapsody for clarinet, adapted for the first time with the use of guitar effects pedals. This new version of the work digs deeper into its hard rock roots, adding distortion, delay, and flanger effects to achieve a clarinet-electric guitar hybrid sound.

easily the best recording of this work I've ever heard! I love how dedicated to 'the show' you are. I doubt there was one bored person in the audience : )

I was one of the bass clarinetists who played with Scott when he preformed this song with our band at CCU. Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing experience.

What a great musical interpretation! He’s going to be really good in the following years given dedication and consistency continues to blossom!
