I listened to this today and it was so unusual I figured I'd share it here.
Wild and crazy:
Bach (you'll recognize it):
Pat Posey solos all the way through on an instrument called "Tubax" which sounds like a Godzilla sized Bari Sax. I used to play bari in jazz band and some parts of this sound like when the band members first arrived and started warming up / messing around. Until he goes wild and then it's just super fun. Reminds me of an album Hamiet Bluiett did for Mapleshade called "If Trees Could Talk". That tubax bottom octave is so FAT I just love it. The Youtube doesn't sound bad but doesn't do justice to the lossless original on Qobuz, which sounds crisp, natural, with lifelike timbral depth as if he's right there.

This smeared an irresistable huge grin across my face, hope it does the same for you!
