Oboists:
Isn't it nice these days to hear the oboe used in other music besides classical music. A few months back there was a post about oboe being heard in rock and pop. What about Jazz, avant-garde, and other "world music" styles? I'm really digging all the new sounds that are being "invented" with oboe. We all grew up hearing it in classical music and learned to love it. BUT, listen to this MP3 track, Siguiriya, on this website for A MOST UNIQUE and mystifying oboe sound. This has a great Flamenco yet jazzy (rather oxymoronic) sound to it and is a nice deviation from the norm.

And wow, the oboist's expression is amazing. Where does he get those reeds? How does he make them?!? The responsiveness and stability is amazing. Truly a great listen. See/listen for yourself!
Keep practicing oboists!
