The Bassoon Brothers is a bassoon quartet composed of members of the Oregon Symphony bassoon section. Despite its questionable beginning (rumor has it the group came into existence fully-formed late one Halloween night) and consistent inability to hold any respect whatsoever for established musical boundaries, the Bassoon Brothers have managed to release two recordings, Wanted! and Captured! They regularly commit their musical crimes in front of unsuspecting audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest. Their criminal behavior began back in 1985.  

 

 Bassoon Quartet: Mark Eubanks, Robert Naglee, Juan de Gomar, Bonnie Fillmore Cox

     The Bassoon Brothers first album "Wanted - The Bassoon Brothers” quickly became one of our best-selling albums. This second CD is at least as entertaining. The quartet was the bassoon section of the Oregon Symphony in Portland.
