Create – Nicola Ferro
8 July 2014 Darby
It is a pleasure to introduce the multi-talented Mr. Nicola Ferro to the listening public. He is undoubtedly one of the most talented musicians I know. Extremely versatile, he can compose in musical styles as diverse as jazz, classical, film and pop with equal finesse and brilliance. I first heard his work in Italy, and thought his talent was prodigious and that his compositions deserved a large audience. This CD, created during a short stay in the United States, was composed, performed, recorded and edited by Mr. Ferro in a week¯s time to demonstrate his varied talents. Not only is he an outstanding composer, but he is also a superb trombonist in both the jazz and classical idioms. Sit back and enjoy a musical feast, elegantly prepared for you by Nicola Ferro.
