Name: Contrabassoon Listening Example by Kris King
Duration: 1 min 50 s
Description: An old record that I had demonstrating the different instruments of the orchestra. This was made by the Vienna State Opera Orchestra in 1959

My first foray into using Ableton making compositions. Recorded and mixed in Ableton. Never finished-but a fun project. 

Socharaket III

A very rare snippet of my live sax playing at the Boom Boom Room on 9/27/14  with Victor Little's BIG HIT. Having done decades of funk sax work-and after playing my third sax gig in 3 years since coming back from Japan-I thought I'd post a little. Needless to say I hope I play with Vic, Nikki, Michael and Nigel again-this was fun. This was the first tune of the night and it only got more thick as the evening wore on.
