We've experimented with other voices in the sax section--replaced the altos with 2 Eb clarinets (same key, reads the same part), 2 Bb clarinets (reads the tenor parts), and an Eb alto clarinet reading the bari part. We have also had 2 alto clarinets read the alto sax parts, 2 bass clarinets read the tenor parts, and an Eb contralto clar. read the bari sax part.
Also have had 2 Eb sopranino saxes read the alto parts, 2 Bb soprano reading the tenor part, and an alto sax reading the baritone part.
there should be more bass clarinets in jazz band. i play bass clarinet and i don't play any others that my director will let in jazz band (except bass guitar, but i'm still learning). i feel left out of jazz band :( i'll try convincing him (he won't do it)
yeah, my mom and some friends say i should learn bari for pep band next year since our only bari (well, that comes to pep band) is a senoir, so maybe i could do jazz band then, still thanks for the tip :)
@LaLinMangaFreak My director won't let bass clarinets in Jazz bands either, but I played in my middle schools jazz band on my bass clarinet, luckily I have been playing Bass guitar/7&8 string guitar for years, or else I would not be in jazz band.
i play the bass and was looking for a song i can perform at my school audition and i was wondering if you could tell me the name of that song?perty please???
dude the band teacher was just talking about how great you were the other day and how the judges were impressed with there being a bass clarinet just to let you know i play bass guitar in jass 3
they are both really great! you don't usually see bass clarinets in jazz bands. for some reason there are directors that think the clarinet is not a jazz instrument. this vid shows that it really can be.
BASS CLARINETISTS ARE AWESOME!!
(i play it too but that's not why i say they are awesome)

Very nice solos, but he need to clean up his upper register, it is very stuffy.
