I went to that camp where this is filmed, and anyone else who went would understand... She is the only jazz bassoonist in the world. :)

The comprehension that these kids exude for their individual talent in playing this piece makes me glisten with joy. Bravo to them, their teachers and parents!

Hahahaha. YES !  Great !... Did I hear "Rite of Spring" quote at 2:17 ? Everybody had fun with this piece, the MUSICIANS and AUDIENCE. Bravo.

..... Let's also give credit where credit is due...... The pianist plays wonderfully stytlized brothel piano and the drummer tastefully uses brushes and high-hat cymbals. What a great band. This is ACOUSTIC Bassoon at it's finest.
