@bendum39. I did not say it was a joke.

@stephl76 no no its not a joke. dolphy was diabetic. he died of a diabetic crisis. he collapsed just after a show, and they assumed he OD's because he was a black musician. they could have saved him if that racist assumption was not made. he never did heroin. see wikipedia.

hey! i play that instrument been playing for 3 years and im only 12 :)!
Bass clarinets don't produce the penetrating & attention-catching sound of the sax.... however the more you listen to the sound the more you get trapped into the addictive timbre of that mysterious instrument. Maybe that's why so many saxists have expanded their focus of attention to the bass clarinet?
