THE CRITICS ARE RAVING!
MOSTLY IN A GOOD WAY!
"Greg Pagel is a nut, and I mean that in the best way.... Plastic Machine Music is proof enough that the man is off his damned rocker, and proud to be so. And I think it is a very good thing for all of us that he is." (more)

"Like Primus, Sun Ra and Zappa meeting inside a pinball machine, cross-breeding and sprouting new appendages while video game-like effects bounce in and out, Plastic Machine Music is an ingenius hybrid of jazz fusion backdrops, experimental electronic innovation and a poprock-informed writing... Five Stars!" (more)

________________________________
My name's Greg. If you're looking for someone else, try Google.
I have been performing professionally in the jazz and classical idioms since the late Twentieth Century. I'm in the jazz quintet, Open Interest, which performs often in Green Bay and elsewhere in Wisconsin. I also play accordion in the legendary duo, Pick and Squeeze, which also features my amazing brother Andy on guitar and vocals.
Other musicians I've worked with include: Benny Golson, Joe Maneri, Matt Turner, Kenny Wheeler, Janet Planet, Bob Moses, Luciana Souza, and Bobby Vinton.
As a composer, I've written jazz and classical chamber music that has been performed at Jordan Hall and Symphony Hall in Boston, MA and Lincoln Center in NYC. Plus I've composed about 150 short pieces for my piano students. Furthermore, rumors of a forthcoming film score are not completely unfounded.
I know what you're thinking: This guy sounds awesome! How can I hear some of this talented young performer's work? Well! Go check out my CD! ... Listen to the clips, write a review, and buy it! I have other CD's which are only available through me directly (for now) but if you'd like one I can surely set you up.

Finally, click here to see other things, not about me, which are interesting (if only to me).
Thanks!
