Paul, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and adjunct educator at West Chester University, has become a fixture on the New York jazz scene while performing worldwide including a recent European tour in Paris, Brussels, Lurs France and London promoting his latest CD "Simple Life".

With a long career as an instrumentalist and sideman, Paul has performed or recorded on sessions with Billy Eckstine, Mark Murphy, Dr. John, Bucky Pizzarelli, Bobby Scott, Joe Farrell, Sheryl Baily, Barry Miles and Ron Carter to name just a few. Paul launched his solo vocal career in 2015 with his debut vocal album “Breaking Through” (Dot Time) which Included his self penned “Book Faded Brown” previously recorded by The Band, Rick Danko and Carl Perkins. His follow-up release “Simple Life” features his quartet along with Joe Locke as a special guest on a number of tracks.Paul has written for NBC, Cannon Films and was recently showcased on PBS-TV in a Friday Arts series profile feature "Finding Your Voice".
