about

The Composers is the first album in series of albums Gerry eventually plans to record which are solely devoted to exceptionally talented and prolific Black classical music composers who have been overlooked throughout history and who Gerry himself only recently discovered. This album consists of four works by Blind Tom (Wiggins), a slave who presumably was the first Black American classical composer, and the rest by the late Florence Price, whose music has so moved Gerry that he has included her in his list of favorite composers (Chopin being his favorite composer, followed by Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky) who are always reverently referred to by their last name only. Hopefully, Ms. Price will one day also attain that status and level of reverence.
