AND THE VOCALS
THE PAGSBERG BIGBAND
Om Almost Music
Almost Music is fantastic. Really Enjoyable. It is very original and completely musical.
Sammy Nestico (US), winner of American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers
WE BELIEVE THAT BIGBANDJAZZ WITH VOCALS
IS A WAY TO LIGHTEN OUR HEARTS
Jazz are so many things.
It is so many sounds. It is so many colors. It is so many genres.
It can be so beautiful. I can be so horrible. It can be so soulfull. It can be so fantastic.
The voice, text and vocals can be a path to understand all this. That's why we prefer jazz and vocals.
- Mads Pagsberg / Conductor
