Ted Baskin strikes ...Thanks for the info, Geoffrey!<br />Ted Baskin strikes me as not your average American-school player. His sound really marked the Montréal Symphony Orchestra in the 1980's and 1990's. It's much more "present" and capable of the whole dynamic range and power of articulation than I am used to hearing from the USA, that is, until recently.RobinDesHautboishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982605859554912966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121905122650141172.post-62910662340777863022017-01-02T19:48:53.214-05:002017-01-02T19:48:53.214-05:00You may be interested to know Ted Baskin lived for...You may be interested to know Ted Baskin lived for a time in New Zealand. He was principal in the Auckland Philharmonia ( as it was then) and also sometimes was called in as an extra with the NZSO. He was a magic player even then (Mid 1970s), and to hear him live was a joy. I can remember being bowled over by a performance of The Silken Ladder...which in my mind, has not been beaten. I met him very briefly once, but never had the pleasure of playing with him.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445542999595207762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121905122650141172.post-74562197736736647712013-11-16T13:33:14.509-05:002013-11-16T13:33:14.509-05:00Thanks Mary....

I got it from the late but great Nick Ayoub (sax prof at Conservatoire de Montréal) who got it from Bowman or Berman or Baumann..... I've been talking to many to get the story straight, but former OSM sounds right.RobinDesHautboishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982605859554912966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121905122650141172.post-59567040232623075782013-11-16T13:12:43.935-05:002013-11-16T13:12:43.935-05:00The recording I think is when Ted Baskin had Covey...The recording I think is when Ted Baskin had Coveys or Lorees...I could be wrong.
