@Spaztronthemusicman He wasn't shooting for beautiful, he was going for that rough jazz tone, which is beauty in itself. His reed is soft to get that gritty sound in the lower register and the squaky upper register. You are right on the fact that it sounds nothing like a tenor, but saying that this is atypical of a bass clarinet..... just listen to jazz. The way many instruments are used in jazz are almost nothing like the roles they hold in a concert band or orchestra.
