PAGANOVA

Put two monster saxophonists in front of a hot rhythm section – that's the Kansas City based quintet PAGANOVA . . . from straight-ahead swing to Latin, fusion, and a heavy dose of original tunes and innovative arrangements, this high-energy group is led by pianist/composer Michael Pagán, who writes most of the material for the group and features KC jazz scene veterans David Chael, Mike Herrera and Ray DeMarchi. Virtuoso electric bassist Louie Pagán adds fresh grooves to this formidable yet listener-friendly ensemble. Paganova’s 2024 release on Capri Records has received glowing reviews (including an indispensable rating from Paris Move). Their recent KPR live studio performance featured all new material and they can be heard regularly at the Westport Coffee House, the Blue Room, the 1909 Club and Jazzy B’s among other venues. Paganova was the featured cover story/review
of JAM, the Kansas City Jazz Ambassadors magazine. Paganova is pleased to be a part of the 2025 Topeka Jazz lineup and is ready to play!
