When I was in my early twenties (not that long ago!!) I made two recordings of Jazz bassoon (now fortunately unavailable). Mike Hatchard wrote a lovely Jazz suite for me, and I jazzed to standards like the rest.
Meeting some American friends today, they introduced Chloe and I to Bela Fleck and the flecktones. This is worth a watch on youtube. have to say the bassoon does sound a bit like a muted trumpet at times, but he knows his way around the instrument... very impressive, as its hard to play jazz on the bassoon. I think my jazz was a bit more genteel!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v6j_JbOlpA&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL6A84144EA26090CE
