Paul continues to teach piano in Idaho, perform classical and jazz and record original music.. This latest collection features piano themes and variations on a theme.. much of this CD is improvised.. It is at times a meditative work but also with a strong undercurrent-- Each piece can be thought of as a scene or story-- Melodies, and chords intersect-- at times minimal and modern and at others- dense and elaborate.. This style of playing comes from having a modern jazz backgound and appreciation for melody..
