    This confirms the bassoon is the old man of the winds instruments.

    Yep---bassoons can cook just as well as the rest of them. (That little red thing didn't quite look like the rest of the bassoons, though!) I remember in the 1970's a friend had a record album of a double reed band playing the swing era hits--Miller, Dorsey, etc. and it was fantastic. Oboes can really scream!!! Thanks for this, very enjoyable. Those bassoonists are very good.

  • @thefroggybannana
    @thefroggybannana 3 года назад +2

    I think that’s why I find the Bassoon so awesome. It has the power to play every single part in a SATB just on the normal Bassoon! Then you have even bigger ones, and that funky sound it makes. So cool

    I was a white boy bassoonist in Seattle's Central District in the 70s. At the time, I thought my symphonic world and the pop world didn't cross. I missed out on a lot. This is like an alternate reality, I could have lived. Thanks so much Evan!!!!

    Having been alerted to the RoS reference by Samara, am I imagining a bit of Bolero just before it. And Tristan at the very start of that solo? Now listening out for other Easter Eggs!

    • @kuhlbassoon
      @kuhlbassoon  3 года назад +1

      Maybe it was Tristan sneaking in there!? Hmm, I honestly can't remember.. I use Rite a lot in soloing, that Major 7 outline fits nicely and people seem to like it, although a sax teacher once told me I was overdoing it 😂
