Look for recordings by jazz bassoonist Michael Rabinowitz.

The Mingus "Epitaph" recording features him on Wolverine Blues.

Jim, I enjoy listening to Susan Nigro, albeit that's contrabassoon.  How about that bassoon group out of Toronto?  "Bassoonatics" or something like that...I think I have their CD, and if you're interested, I'd be happy to trade you for something.

Tim Price recommends Illinois Jacquet, Bassoon Blues.  This appears on Jacquet's LP "The Message," from 1963.  It seems to be available for download from http://www.mp3.com/albums/108594/summary.html, but I didn't try.

Check out Paul Hansen for some very fine bassoon playing in that style.

Look for recordings by Wilbur de Paris "New New Orleans Jazz Band" or "Rampart St. Paraders" that sometimes have bassoon players.  Also, I recall that  Benny Moten had some bassoon players in the 1920s and early 1930 ( blues & jazz tunes were somewhat interchangeable terms in that era... )
