Album Description

The Bassoon Brothers first album "Wanted — The Bassoon Brothers" was called "Just plain hilarious" by the Seattle Times., and "a sort of all-bassoon version of the Canadian Brass" by Audiophile Auditions. It quickly became one of Crystal's best-selling albums and very high on Amazon's sales list. This second CD is at least as entertaining, with riotous takes on well-known classical, popular, and movie tunes. The quartet is the bassoon section of the Oregon Symphony in Portland and are on a mission to save the 'oons from extinction. Bassoon, contrabassoon, tenoroon, and tromboon — all are now a little safer.

A must-have for anyone who loves the bassoon!.......2007-05-13

This is just a terrifically fun, inventive recording, featuring world-class performers playing truly innovative and interesting arrangements of a wide variety of music, from the cute and fun to the sublime and serious. You gotta get this CD!

fun for bassoon lovers.......2007-04-04

Sometimes, even bassoonists need to be a little silly, and this fits the bill!

Review of Captured! The Bassoon Brothers.......2006-08-01

Great CD with some very interesting instruments you don't hear everyday. If you like the bassoon, you'll like the uniqueness of this CD.

This album Captured my attention.......2005-03-02

Once while on a road trip, I found a radio station playing an instrumental rendition of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Three Little Maids" like I had never heard it before.

When the DJ said the unusual version had been performed by the Basoon Brothers I knew I had to find it.

The whole album just kept me giggling while it charmed me with it wonderful musicality. Well worth owning.

It's..............2003-02-18

An easy five stars to "Captured!" by The Bassoon Brothers. In fact, five stars to any bassoon playing that has a pulse. The mix of tune choices and the arrangements are exquisite. Who doesn't love "Fanfare For The Common Man"? I was listening to "My Girl" in the bath, and what with the singing and dancing, slopped water all over. I love "Send In The Clowns" and "Purple Haze" and the "Louie Louie" with the sly Glenn Miller and Sly references.

It reminds me of much more than just Spike Jones and Schickele. Willem Breuker Kollektief, the World Saxophone Quartet, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Don Cherry, Carla Bley, and Sun Ra spring to mind. And the use of the all-too often neglected bassoons reminds me of James Carter's recent resuscitation of the nearly DOA bass saxophone on "Chasin' The Gypsy."

It's a treasure. And it only serves to remind that Mr. Eubanks is the premier bassoonist in the world and an arranger with few equals. I have not heard all of the dreary rehashes of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring"; maybe I've heard eight or ten. With one exception, all dreary. The opening bassoon solos always remind me of the implication of "Waiting For Wood," an article of a couple of years ago in the New Yorker magazine. But, Mr. Eubanks' opening solo in "The Rite of Spring" by The Oregon Symphony is truly divine. Ethereal. Definitive. It sings, and gives the sense of the juggernaut that is to follow.

"Captured!" Five stars.

WORTH A LOT MORE THAN YOU'LL END UP PAYING.......2000-05-31

Firstly, I am not the above reviewer, just another huge fan from Oakland. This is an unbelievabley good album. Kramer has created some of the most vital and innovative rock ever recorded, and with Jad Fair of Half-Japanese fame working along side him, this is up there with the greatest of all Kramer's projects. It is humorous,sad, chaotic and always entertaining. Roll Out The Barrel is one of those albums that you can't wait to get home and listen to at the end of the day. Fantastic.

Roll Out Your Wallet.......1998-12-05

A fantastic album by two musical enigmas. Every song on this album is worth the price alone. Particular favorites are `California', a haunting tune sung by none other than Penn Jillette, of Penn and Teller fame. Their cover of `Help' is truly inspirational, along with such tunes as `Cheerleader's Wild Weekend', a tribute to high school. Buy this right now. Really. Didn't you hear me? Go buy it.
