Each chart is clearly conceived, and while tonality prevails in Pagan's writing, it is often veiled by added-note chords and chromaticism. His work is a model of big band arranging. In some ways his work suggests the Thad Jones school, although you can hear the influences of Bill Holman and Clare Fischer. He has put together an outstanding band that includes musicians like Greg Gisbert, John Hines, Brad Goode, and of course, the fine piano work of Pagan. Pagan was recognized by Downbeat magazine as a \"Musician Deserving Wider Recognition.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Essential Trivia \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Lyric Interlude \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Pag's Groove \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Waltz for a Bad Hair Day \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Never Let Me Go \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Crazy Man's Game \u003cbr\u003e1.7 More Than a Friend \u003cbr\u003e1.8 We're Almost There\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
