Keeping it LOW

I'd be interested in hearing from enthusiasts of off the beaten path Double Bass, Bassoon, Tuba, etc. recordings. Any favorite recordings that we may not know about? No cello - that could be a whole thread by itself (probably is), and isn't quite LOOOOOWWW enough.

I'm at work, so no access to browse the stacks, but a few that come to mind are:

- Dragonetti Lives - Bertram Turetzky, totally awesome double bass (Takoma).

- Rodion Azarkhin - Incredible Virtuoso Performances on the Double Bass (Columbia)

- Sherman Walt - Vivaldi Bassoon Concertos (RCA Living Stereo)

- Sweet and Low - The London Serpent Trio (Titanic)

- Bassooniana - Arthur Grossman/Bruce Grainger (MHS)

I have mostly lp's so don't know which of these are available on CD. Anything you Audiogoner's think is essential?

You HAVE to get your hands on James Carter's "Chasin' the Gypsy"! This guy is the next great tenor player, but get this... He plays BASS sax on the first track of this recording. Yes, I mean bass sax.

Incredible.
