 | Michael Paulo VISIT WEBSITE » PURCHASE MUSIC » Though he has always struck a glorious balance between romance and playful funk, saxman Michael Paulo's music has always had one trademark focal point-passion. He first let us know what that was all about on his 1989 breakthrough One Passion, which was chosen by Jazziz Magazine as one of the most influential contemporary jazz albums in the genre's history. Now, coming full circle after a glorious decade of smooth jazz success and artistic growth, he titles his fifth recording (and third on Noteworthy, the label he co-owns) Midnight Passion to reflect upon all of the many influences, FROM jazz to soul to pop, which have contributed to evolution of his unique sound. But even as Paulo looks back, he's forging INTO the next century with optimism and vision. |
