Illinois Jacquet learned bassoon under direction of Manuel Zegler.After practicing for a very long time he used this instrument in a 1965 New York concert.
Jacquet recorded about three titles featuring the bassoon.An instrument seldom heard in jazz.
The above is a favourite track of mine from his album 'The Blues That's Me'
