Album Notes

"To my way of thinking, Paul's approach to free improvisation is just right; extemporizations that convey an emotion or picture in a brief, concise way, that contain at most a few ideas which we can grasp and follow to their conclusion. Each has a curve that is satisfying and complete rather than leaving the impression of randomness. This takes considerable control of the intellect, as well as a technique able to play what is being heard in the mind's ear -a contrasting balance of composure and abandonment to the feelings of the moment. This is what Paul has captured in these pieces, taking us on adventures that are daring and musical, serious and at the same time a joy to listen to." ~Alan Broadbent, two-time Grammy Award winning pianist, composer, and arranger.
