New CD Release: SHIMMY SHIMMY – McLean Meijering

SHIMMY SHIMMY - McLean Meijering

It’s a collection of tracks that feature solo bassoon in a mixture of folk, rock, funk, and classical contemporary jazz.

On this follow-up album of "Rave On", McLean again on her ancient primeval bassoon plays her soothing and rousing melodies by Wizard Meijering into another adventure of masterful movie like contemporary soundtracks and pumping instrumental pop songs.

Listen to Shimmy, Shimmy, an exciting new CDBaby release.

Frank ZappaFrank Zappa on the Bassoon: - “The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has a medieval aroma, like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball...I find this unfathomable, but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing the bassoon.”
