Subject: [CB] new bass clarinet recording with Monk tunes
Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2004 09:20:18 +0100
Dear group members,
We've just released our new Live CD "The Monk In All Of Us"!!!!
It containes music composed by the great jazz piano
player/composer Thelonious Monk and we've recorded it live in
June 2004 at Vienna's famous jazz club Porgy&Bess.
The setup:
- Ulrich Drechsler: Bb bassclarinet/Bbb contrabassclarinet
- Lorenz Raab: trumpet
- Oliver Steger: doublebass
- Harald Tanschek: drums
You can check it out on the label's homepage www.crackedanegg.com
There you'll find the detailed track list, a few mp3-files and of
course you can order it directly.
For the mouthpiece maniacs: I've used a custom made crystal
Pomarico bassclarinet mouthpiece with a tip opening of 2,90mm together
with Marca reeds #2 1/2 and a Clark Fobes contrabass mouthpiece
best wishes from Vienna,
Uli Drechsler

I have always been told a Bb clarinet is so called because when
you play what you think of as a C it sounds Bb. The Eb clarinets play
Eb when you play what you think of as a C.

The clarinet (or clarionet) is named so because it can play in
the "clarion"
register. In this register the existing naming is correct.

Thanks - I removed a "3D" from before the item number. I don't know why
I
failed to find them on a search (they come up OK on
www.ebay.co.uk ).
Like
all members on this list, I like to keep an eye on things!
>Also re one-piece versus pull-apart.
I have to agree with Lelia that taking a paperclip apart and
putting it together, especially in crowded and hurried circumstances,
is troublesome. The worst thing - which I forecast doing some time
back, and have now done - is losing the nut that holds the two parts
together. I've found another that works, only because the thread is
short and any pitch discrepancy is small. I think someone in the past
has shoe-horned a UNC#4 machine screw into the pillar, that probably
has some other thread (metric?); at any rate, I can't get the screw
out. Terje responded to a question on this some weeks ago (thanks), but
I'd still like to hear from anyone who knows what this thread is really
supposed to be.

Yes. There's a larger problem, too: several people besides
Matt are sending mail in html mime format that makes a
nearly-unreadable mess of the Digest form of the list. When the
list server automatically converts all these various formats to plain
text, gobbledygook appears at the beginning and the end all of the
links sent in mime, and then your mail appears twice, the second time
at grossly expanded length, mixed in with all kinds of code that's
visible as text. It's not so bad to get a single e-mail in this
format -- just delete everything below the signature -- but a whole
Digest full of this mime gibberish is annoying and unnecessarily
time-consuming to sort through and read. Please check your e-mail
"send" settings. If everybody would snip only the parts of the
mail to which you want to reply (instead of replying to the whole
digest), and then send your e-mail to the list via the "plain text"
option, you'd be doing the rest of us a big favor. Thanks!

when did they (Leblanc) stop making the split paperclip
contrabass? mine is a 1964 model and it's in one piece.
