With any luck a Google hunt should get a few short free samples for most of your list.
-Edmund Welles is a bass clarinet quartet put together by Cornelius Boots (no one in the band is named Edmund). The Agrippa's 3 Books CD refrences three books of occult philosophy and has versions of Spinal Tap's Big Bottom and Black Sabbath's Into the Void so you might not expect to be hit with an exceptionally high level of musicianship. It hits pretty hard...probably one of the heaviest bass clarinet discs around.
-Todd Sickafoose, excellent bassist/band leader. Dogs Outside and Blood Orange are interseting jazz rock keepers. Blood Orange may be a little more impressive (having Nels Cline and Ches Smith on the recording doesn't hurt).
-Preston Reed is obviously a phenomenal acoustic guitarist. If you have alot of Michael Hedges and Leo Kottke already Reed might not be hitting alot of new nerve endings.
