Wynton Marsalis: Meeelaan for bassoon and strings. Antti Salovaara, Simonen,Sugimura,Zemtsov,Codina

Meeelaan: Blues. Song by Wynton Marsalis. Antti Salovaara - bassoon, Sini Simonen & Kana Sugimura - violin, Dana Zemtsov - viola, Pau Codina - cello at the 22nd Esbjerg International Chamber Music Festival (EICMF) 2020, a year despite the pandemic, in which we were overjoyed to have the opportunity to perform fifteen concerts throughout the month of August.
This concert was held at South Denmark's Music Academy, SDMK, Esbjerg. The hall, originally the city's old power station is considered among the best in Europe for chamber music due to its acoustic, its architecture inspired by Antiquity and the interesting mix of Jugend and Classicist styles found in Viennese architecture.
EICMF is unique in Denmark as it invites artists to collaborate in new constellations, form new relationships, establish a foundation for exchange and annually act as a host for an international community of artists. www.eicmf.dk

Cool piece, great playing! I'm surprised at how well the bassoon can sound bluesy. The multiphonics in particular make more sense in this style than any other.
