Liked Herbie Mann link you posted. Thanks. Did not know h e played bass clarinet. Most of his albums are him playing flute. I may get a copy of the cd.
I agree bass clarinet has rich tonalities as does the bari sax both di fferent than the alto or tenor saxes.
Dolphy has several cds on the ojc label titled Live at the five spot, a group he had with trumpeter Booker Little. The songs are long with plenty of solo space and Dolphy plays bass clarinet on several songs.
The Illinois Concert is another good solo effort by Dolphy with Herbie Hancock on piano.

Sorry maybe i copied the live Mintzer video incorrectly. Yes Soft Machine titles3-7 are my favorites although I have some of their later output and live recordings.
I'll check out If Summer Had It's Ghosts. I like all 3 musicians, especially Gomez with Bill Evans.
Here's a clip of Courtney Pine playing bass clarinet in duo. The album is Song the Ballad Book and he only plays bass clarinet.
