Pago Libre

 

 

One of the most distinctive groups in Europe and indeed in the entire world, Pago Libre is made up of four virtuosi who combine the drive and groove of jazz, the melodic impulse of folk music, and the timbral qualities, density, and orchestration of chamber music. That is what Pago Libre has pursued since 1989. John Wolf Brennan is on piano, Arkady Shilkloper on horn and alphorn, Tom Götze on bass, Florian Mayer on violin. This is their new studio recording and the first in eleven years.
