Bassoonist Dr. David Wells plays the instrument like few others. In other words, he has figured out how to make it work flawlessly all the way from historically performed baroque performances, to lyrical classical playing, and even to taking solos with a jazz ensemble! In this feature we enjoy hearing the bassoon in three different settings, including a fun jazz standard. We also learn how long distance swimming has helped Dave develop breath control for his difficult wind instrument.

Every Friday at noon and 6pm Jennifer Reason curates and hosts the Local Artist Feature on air, created to highlight and celebrate the extraordinary talent right here in our region. Come meet your musical neighbors!
