Wikipedia article has a big chunk of information on the bassoon as a jazz instrument (while admitting it isn’t common). If you can use it for jazz you can use it for the blues…
But, yeah, it provides a timbre most blues instruments don’t have.
Whats with all the negativity on bagpipes and banjos???? I’m form the Appallachians and currently living in Scotland, and I’ve always loved both of them. I even like accordians, at least the way they are played in Mexico.

Why not? It’s a woodwind, just like the sax.

Depends on the player, not the instrument.
