PAGÁN: 12 PRELUDES & FUGUES SET FOR RELEASE AUGUST 17, 2010 ON TAPESTRY RECORDS.

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.
