BRAZILIAN DAYS
Paul Winter and Oscar Castro-Neves
Lyrical instrumental interpretations of bossa nova tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Marino Pinto, Carlos Lyra and others featuring "Winter's liquid soprano sax, Castro-Neves' rich chord voicings, and solid but supple backing from bassist Nilson Matta and drummer Paulo Braga. [..] A long-overdue collaboration between two gifted and well-traveled musicians." (BILLBOARD Magazine)
"Winter and Neves's Latin sound goes down smooth, seductive and sophisticated [...]. Castro-Neves whips out those bossa chord changes as if he's taking a Sunday stroll, while Winter's lilting tone becomes even more pronounced. Like a warm Rio breeze, he wraps his soprano saxophone around melodies by Jobim, Carlos Lyra, Noel Rossa and other Brazilian composers." - John Diliberto in PULSE.

Eugene Friesen breaks new ground for the cello with remarkable ensemble playing featuring his dynamic compositions.

and soulful instruments has been liberated." - Paul Winter
"ARMS AROUND YOU surges with relentless energy, good taste, and some of the best cello playing in any context. The nine selections also exploit his talents as a composer, vocalist, lyricist and band leader. [..] 'Arms Around You' shows Friesen to be a superior performer able to synthesize a vast array of influences and ideas into an entertaining, musically satisfying whole." (TOWER PULSE!)

PIANOSONG and ANGEL ON A STONE WALL
Paul Halley
"Paul Halley's melodies and harmonies touch my soul as no
other writer's since Bach. For me, he is the most lyrical composer on the
planet." - Paul Winter.
PIANOSONG is a stunningly beautiful collection of pieces for solo piano, born out of Paul Halley's broad experience in jazz, classical music, Gregorian chant, Jamaican dance and popular song, demonstrating his unique flair for creating original music that is vital and timeless.
In ANGEL ON A STONE WALL, Paul explores more of the extraordinary range of his composing, arranging and keyboard skills, drawing on his roots in jazz and classical traditions. The album ranges from a ballad for solo piano to a piano-guitar duet, arrangements for the full Consort, to 'Ubi Caritas', a piece that juxtaposes and interweaves Gregorian and African chants. He is joined by his colleagues from the Paul Winter Consort and Paul Wertico and David Blamires of the Pat Metheny Group.
[ANGEL ON A STONE WALL is] "An inspired testament to the keyboard maturity and compositional vision of one of today's most original musicians" (HUNTSVILLE NEWS)
"Paul Halley is an immensely creative musician who gathers inspiration from wherever the wind blows. Never a manufacturer of illusions, Halley feels the true impact of he creates because he understands the intrinsic relationship between music and life." - (SOUND WAVES).
