Whats Paul like?
Paul is a great bandleader and musician. He makes it all look so effortless but make no mistake, his job is demanding. His ability to pull songs out of a hat, banter with Dave, conduct the band and play great – all at the same time, is astounding. He is an encyclopedia of music and treats songs like classical pieces – to be lovingly preserved in spirit. He is a demanding bandleader in the sense that he takes care of the details and rehearses each section of the band until he is satisfied with the parts and the sound. Once he feels you have the essence of the music he will leave you to input your own creativity. He is also an excellent sideman when called upon to be in that position.
