"Not only is he an outstanding composer, but he is also a superb trombonist in both the jazz and classical idioms." -- Joseph Alessi, Principal Trombonist, New York Philharmonic Orchestra A wonderful CD composed, performed, recorded, and edited by Nicola Ferro--a conceptual "wonderland" in the mold of classic Pink Floyd yet classical in nature as he illustrates in his respect and dedication to Joseph Alessi with beautiful trombone playing. This journey will take you down a conceptual boardwalk with many genre stops. Ferro delivers a couple of jazzy-dance/hop charts (notably "Cherry" and "Sexy Girl") that could be spun in a dance club. Nicola Ferro has worked professionally with many jazz musicians, at the same time studying composition, arrangements, and the use of electronics and computers. He studied music at the Conservatory of Salerno until 1996, when he gained his diploma in trombone with honors. He has performed with Italian and international classical orchestras, and appeared on several TV and radio broadcasts.
