About
Paul brings his eclectic musical reflections to this intimate showcase of jazz artistry in the company of incomparably accomplished musicians. "All About Jazz" magazine captured the appeal of the 4tet in a review: “The quartet glides effortlessly from swing to bebop…Jost’s boppish scatting bristles with the unmistakable energy of in-the-moment improvisation. Jost is an all-rounder; his gravely soul delivery can sound like a cross between singers Otis Redding and Pino Daniele, and he imbues singer John Sebastian’s ‘Daydream’ with the Delta blues.” Musicologist Raul da Gama has written of Paul, "...in his pristine articulation, Mr Jost dips into a colour palette that is not only most unusual, but also vast and encompassing of an impossibly wide register...he has been spoken of as a worthy successor, among male vocalists, to the legendary Mark Murphy." The group will play selections from their album to be released in March, "Simple Life," including "Blackbird," "Everybody's Talkin' at Me," "Caravan" and an original tune Paul wrote many years ago that seems strangely appropriate these days, "Livin' in the Wrong Time."...
