Daniel Smith: Bassoon Goes Latin Jazz!
by Dan Bilawsky
The bassoon seems to be the homebody of the orchestral woodwind family. This double-reed dynamo rarely leaves the confines of the classical world, instead finding contentment in its comfort zone, playing classic works of yore. On the rare occasion that the instrument does wander outside of its safety net to converse in other musical environments, it ...

Daniel Smith: Blue Bassoon
by Dan Bilawsky
When many people hear discussions about the bassoon, they are far more likely to think of “Peter And The Wolf" than Charlie Parker and Wayne Shorter tunes. While jazz is open to any-and-all-comers in every instrument family, the technical demands of the bassoon--an unwieldy double reed instrument that rarely leaves the confines of classical music--and its ...

Daniel Smith: Blue Bassoon
by AAJ Italy Staff
Di Daniel Smith, virtuoso di uno strumento atipico nel mondo del jazz come il fagotto, avevamo già recensito Bebop Bassoon, tentativo non proprio riuscito di coniugare la rigidità dello strumento e la sua naturale difficoltà d'intonazione con le veloci e intricate trame improvvisative del bebop. In questo Blue Basson ci si sposta dalle parti del blues ...
Separated at Birth 2009
by Michael Lorenz
A few years ago I created Separated at Blue Note, a separated-at-birth salute to some of Blue Note's top artists. This year, back by popular demand (okay, back by my demand): Separated at Birth 2009 -a collection of random jazz musicians and their “long lost siblings." (I want to be clear that ...
Crossover Bassoonist Daniel Smith Interviewed at AAJ
