What do you get when you mix a bassoon and a cajon? Pure rhythmic magic! In this performance, bassoonist Matthias Racz plays Get It! by Gene Koczinski and takes the bassoon out of its usual classical context and throws it into a groove-heavy, rock-inspired world, with the cajon providing the perfect percussive punch.
Originally a solo piece for bassoon, Get It! gives the performer a chance to unleash their inner rock star. The bassoonist takes center stage, navigating tricky rhythms with flair, while the cajon creates a driving beat that propels the music forward. This unlikely pairing of instruments results in a fun, energetic dialogue that's as exciting to listen to as it is to play. And piece we think is probably the funkiest bassoon piece every written (-:
