About
Paul Jost adds his smokey, heartfelt interpretations to the innovative playing of pianist Jim Ridl and his Trio at the annual Christmas concert of Union Church of Bay Ridge in New York City. Joining them will be the choir of Union Church under the direction of pianist Nana Shi (http://www.nanashipiano.com). All About Jazz calls Jim "...one of those rare musicians who stretches the art form even as he honors the established traditions." Paul performs regularly on the east coast, most recently at the Exit Zero Jazz Festival in Cape May, NJ with the band, The Jost Project. Paul’s vocals are so soulful that music journalist Buster Maxwell wrote, "He nearly single-handedly reclaims the male voice as a valid and critically important jazz instrument." Peter McLaren in Jazz in Europe reviewed Jost’s recording Breaking Through and said, “Paul Jost has shown that he is a force to be reckoned with and an artist that deserves to be seen on all great festival stages worldwide.”...
