Thought this piece might go in one direction and accidentally went another, more fun way. You could say that I took a wrong right turn at Albuquerque.

Its the last day of February, and I saved one of my favorite composers for today, the incomparable Valerie Coleman, who has written sooooo much great music with bassoon in it.

In my exploration of music for bassoon by Black American composers, I stumbled pleasantly onto this piece by the renowned trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. How awesome is that we as bassoonists have a composition by this master of music?
