New! Caliban Does Christmas CD

"A completely crazy, out-of-this-world Christmas CD... A real pick-me-up cocktail." (Claude Saucier in the LCBO magazine, A Bon Verre, Bonne Table, 2005)

"Unbelievably Beautiful!... It is an honour to know musicians of your collective calibre, and to record with you is equally over the moon; this is the finest I've EVER sounded. All God's children need an arranger and producer and engineer like those!... We must now endeavor to get the world hooked on this beautiful, fun, extraordinary CD. Caliban Does Christmas, and the bar has been raised."
(Valdy, Canadian Folksinging Star, September 2005)

"You made a dark and rainy Salt Spring morning shimmer and glow with your wonderful music! I love this new disc, it's a total delight from start to finish, thank you, thank you!"  (S. Weeks, British Columbia) 

"I need a new "category "for this disc, but I guess 4 Crows will have to do! Rating:4 Crows!"
-- Ronald Klimko in The Double Reed, November 2001

"The most uplifting and exciting music for bassoons I have ever heard."
--Michael McCraw, Former Principal Bassoon, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra

This cover was designed by Nadina for the BIS Northern Lights re- issue of our first CD, BassOOnatics!. If you live outside North America and order this CD through a commercial record store, you will see this cover but the content is exactly the same as that of our original release on the CBC Records label, Musica Viva.
