“Do not listen to Jean-Luc Fillon and think that he is playing an instrument which is not really used in Jazz. He does not need this kind of “indulgence”. His talent as a composer and improviser means that the instrument is quickly forgotten. From the very first track, we are sure that Jean-Luc Fillon knows what he is talking about and that he masters all the essential aspects of jazz, without mentioning his skillful instrumental technique, which is beyond suspicion.

I literally just started the video. I'm very impressed. Also, how can man's breathe?!??? He's putting all that air into his basoon! He ain't even step away to breathe yet! He's using air on credit!!!!
My son is a budding bassoonist and totally in awe of Paul Hanson. Thank you for inspiring the next generation. Stunning playing from both of you - pushing the boundaries of our wonderful rare breeds. Love to you both. xx
