Review Text
A unique work and the largest of it's kind ever written specifically for saxophone quartet, jazz pianist/composer Michael Pagán's Twelve Preludes and Fugues is a collection of 24 pieces covering a wide range of styles and genres, including neo-classical, romantic, contemporary, third stream, and jazz idioms. Recorded by the Colorado Saxophone Quartet (Pete Lewis, Clare Church, Tom Myer, Andrew Stonerock and Kurtis Adams) and already being heralded as a monumental addition to the sax quartet literature, fans of chamber music and improvisation will enjoy this melding of virtuosic counterpoint with jazz, spanning over seventy minutes.
