Janet Grice Brazilian Bassoon Quintet

“Janet’s recordings reflect a love for contemporary Brazilian music. Interesting fusion of classical and South American techniques as a base to improvise from.” – Michael G. Nastos

Janet Grice explores the versatile sound of the bassoon in a wide range of musical styles. In Janet’s hands the bassoon expresses her deep connection to the music of Brazil in songs by Jobim, Moacir Santos, Pixinguinha and Hermeto Pascoal, as well as classics by Villa Lobos, Guerra Peixe and Francisco Mignone. Frequent trips to Brazil researching and performing its popular and classical music have led to Janet’s deep appreciation of the culture, and expertise in the musical field.
