Thank you, Andrew D\u2019Angelo\u2013if there were any remaining doubts about the world\u2019s greatest woodwind, you\u2019ve now put them to rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/lovelandcph.bandcamp.com\/album\/bcdeluxe\">BCDELUXE<\/a><\/em> is D\u2019Angelo\u2019s first solo record, and while he is a multi-instrumentalist, the album is wall-to-wall bass clarinet. And boy oh boy, it is so much more than that. D\u2019Angelo recorded the album at home, and out of consideration for his neighbors, he played everything softly. The immediacy of the resulting sound is stunning. It\u2019s a cliche to say that a record makes it feel like you were there; <em>BCDELUXE<\/em> sounds like you\u2019re sitting with the instrument in your own lap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mostly know about the recording technique because D\u2019Angelo says as much in the notes. But there are audible hints. The clicking of keys\u2013usually incidental, sometimes as a musical feature of its own\u2013is unusually loud compared to the clarinet itself. Same thing with D\u2019Angelo\u2019s occasional vocalizations. It sounds like he\u2019s almost shouting, but I suspect he wasn\u2019t trying to make any sound at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tunes show off all kinds of technique, from rapid-fire arpeggios on the opening \u201cBIC\u201d to clean, pure high-register work on pieces like \u201cHappy Mellow.\u201d  Some are just an unaccompanied single bass clarinet; others are multitracked, either with two horns playing interacting melodies or with a choir of bass clarinets supporting an additional voice. Solo pieces don\u2019t always lend themselves to protracted development; accordingly, track lengths vary from 56 seconds up to almost ten minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most remarkable aspect of this release is something you can\u2019t hear. D\u2019Angelo has brain cancer, and everything on <em>BCDELUXE<\/em> was recorded in short sessions between doses of chemotherapy. While you don\u2019t need to know the biographical background to be impressed by the record, it\u2019s a testament to D\u2019Angelo\u2019s focus and dedication that he even attempted it, let alone that he played well enough to sculpt something so assured. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artistically, at least, D\u2019Angelo is winning the battle against cancer. The rest of us have the privilege of hearing his reports from the front line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote a couple of weeks ago that a bass clarinet is a wonderful, magical thing.
