Welcome to the site of the Paul Hanson/Steve Erquiaga duo.

We play music that one could describe as chamber jazz, Brazilian jazz, world jazz.
Whatever you want to call it-you can. Our instrumentation is rather different-
bassoon and nylon-string guitar. What also stands out is the wood tones of our instruments and the conversational interaction we create. Steve is a world-class guitarist who has performed with Andy Narell, Joe Henderson, Bobby McFerrin and many more-check his site HERE.  .Paul is a very different bassoonist most known for  performing with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Medeski Martin and Wood, Peter Erskine, Wayne Shorter, Cirque Du Soleil and many more-check his site HERE.

Together, Paul and Steve create intense and tuneful chamber music of the jazz variety. Check here soon for concert updates and more.

Hi-I finally took the plunge-I'm waiting for the video to be searchable on YouTube (takes awhile!)
Click HERE to see some solo bassoon playing Charlie Parker. It's a low-tech video-no lip-synching.
