Beginning with Horák, many players have commissioned works for the tool, and consequently there now exists a repertoire of lots of of solo works, many by well known foreign composers corresponding to Brian Ferneyhough and David Lang. In addition to Horák, other professional performers come with Henri Bok Netherlands, his pupil Luís Afonso Brazil, Dennis Smylie United States, Tommie Lundberg Sweden, Harry Sparnaay Netherlands, who has worked with essential composers comparable to Luciano Berio, Iannis Xenakis, and Morton Feldman, Evan Ziporyn United States, and Michael Lowenstern United States; the latter two are also composers. The first jazz album on which the leader solely played bass clarinet was Great Ideas of Western Mann 1957 by Herbie Mann, better known as a flautist. However, avant garde musician Eric Dolphy 1928–1964 was the 1st major jazz soloist on the tool, and dependent much of the vocabulary and technique used by later performers. He used the entire range of the tool in his solos. Bennie Maupin emerged in the late 1960s as a first player of the tool, playing on Miles Davis's seminal record Bitches Brew as well as a few statistics with Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi group. His style resembles Dolphy's in its use of superior harmonies. While the bass clarinet has been used often since Dolphy, it is usually used by a saxophonist or clarinetist as a second or third instrument; such musicians come with David Murray, Marcus Miller, John Surman, John Gilmore, Bob Mintzer, John Coltrane to whom Dolphy's mother left some of Dolphy's gadgets adding his bass clarinet, Brian Landrus, James Carter, Steve Buckley, Andy Biskin, Don Byron, Julian Siegel, Gunter Hampel, Michel Portal, and Chris Potter. Very few performers have used the instrument solely, but such performers come with Berlin based bass clarinetist Rudi Mahall, and French bass clarinetists Louis Sclavis and Denis Colin. Klezmer clarinetist Giora Feidman is thought for idiosyncratic use of the bass clarinet on some klezmer and jazz tunes. There are a few contraptions that can arguably be regarded the first bass clarinet.
