I got the same feeling Jules, he plays for well over a minute at break neck tempo and never lets up, always has a fresh idea - would be nice to know who it is/was. Certainly inspiration for you, if you cop a couple of his choruses you'll be doing well.

Oboe player also famous for his cooking, and passion for food, suffered from gout in later years. The signature quote is the title of a book about him.

Marcel Tabuteau likes nothing better than to fall reverently to sleep on the table after a Herculean meal and a bottle of wine. Says he, holding up his thumb and forefinger in an expressive circle: "A little garlic? M'sieu, there is no such thing as a little garlic!"
