STLLBC Founder and Bass Trombonist for the SLSO Gerry Pagano has released a CD.


Here's what St. Louis Post-Dispatch Music Critic Sarah Bryan Miller had to say about Gerry's CD:
"Gerry Pagano has played bass trombone in the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra since 1995; he's an integral part of the orchestra's brass sound. In "Departure," he steps out with some transcriptions . mostly music originally composed for voice or cello . that surprise and delight with beautiful singing tone.

Highlights include four of Mahler's "Songs of a Wayfarer" (here confusingly called "Songs of a Journeyman") and the Vaughan Williams Concerto for Bass Tuba. He has a little help from his friends in the trombone section, and sterling accompaniment from pianist Peter Henderson. This set of departures is well worth hearing."

The Departure CD is available for purchase from Hickey's Music (item #76981) or as mp3s from digstation.com. For More information visit gerrypagano.org.
