Shatner's Bassoon


Chick Corea - Inner Space

I plucked this out of the cut-out racks of JiFs Records in the early eighties. It’s a double-album compilation released in 1973, containing an expanded version of Corea’s Tones For Joan’s Bones album with a couple of tunes off a Hubert Laws album that he had written, arranged and played on.

The tracks range from as hard-bop as you can get ('Anxiety Jazz' as it gets called in my house), to some gentler stuff.

Trio For Flute, Bassoon and Piano has always been a favourite, not just because it's a highly unusual piece of music, but because you don’t hear many bassoons, and I think that’s a shame.
