Album Notes

Jazz violinist Paula Zeitlin is a veteran of the Boston
music scene, Berklee College of Music alumna, and teacher of jazz and blues improvisation. She is a founding member of the Underground Jazz String Quartet and recorded her last album NOW'S THE TIME with the popular western swing band Western Omelet, with whom she toured during the nineties.

A versatile violinist, Zeitlin's experience in classical, folk and bluegrass groups can be heard influencing the jazz tunes and originals on her debut cd as a leader, WALK A LITTLE SLOWER. "This is the first album released under Zeitlin's name, but it comes after a lifetime of music. The tunes are involved with mood and tone: the air and feel of each song's journey...And while jazz is the predominant genre, it would be hard to simply categorize the waltzes, sambas, Celtic-tinged aires and balladic explorations as modern jazz."
