Great performance!!! What type of bassoon and model do you use?!

[jazzbassoonpaul]

@1027MUSICMAN A Moosmann 200 AP. Thanks!

Hey Paul u are brilliant on that bassoon man...... I'm a tenor sax player so what can I practice to better my phrasing?

[jazzbassoonpaul]

@ToliKwoli hey there! sorry for the delay-I am a tenor player also. It's much, much, much easier to play this type of thing on sax. I might get around to posting some sax tutorials as what I do on bassoon is a combination of what I've taken from my jazz/funk sax experience AND what the bassoon will allow me to play. It's all about listening to other artists and transcribing. that and being inventive.

clean head and great solo (nice theme and variation on the melody, and i could still make out those 'indiana' changes!). *****

[jazzbassoonpaul]

@jaimepaullamb -Thanks a lot! It's much more enjoyable playing this with a band but I did much more of that before YouTube came along. I appreciate the kind words.

I also play the sax and bassoon- I love that you can hear the extreme clicking in the high register- the bassoon is so clunky up there, it's a wonder you can play lines at all, let alone as magnificently as you do. Nice work!

[RhyseeB]

Sounds like a saxophone with a sock in it. nice playin though!



[specstake23]

I don't wanna be hatin, it really good, but just seems like your just playing notes, not really feeling the vibe of the whole jazz thing.

[RhyseeB]

That was BEAST!
