BREAKING THROUGH …
THE NEW SOLO CD BY THE MULTI-TALENTED PAUL JOST
Featuring his Original Song “Book Faded Brown”

Philadelphia, PA (September 3, 2014) -- Dot Time Records is pleased to announce the release of “Breaking Through,” the first solo CD of the multi-talented musician/vocalist and arranger, Paul Jost. With this release, Paul breaks through traditional boundaries and conventions by producing a unique and innovative recording. While the majority of songs are jazz standards, there is nothing standard about them.

Paul has been heard on countless recordings over the years but on “Breaking Through”, this multi-faceted artist, who plays drums, guitar, harmonica and piano, merges his experiences into another musical dimension – his voice. Glowing reviews are already pouring in from the U.S. and Europe. Music Journalist Esther Berlanga-Ryan says … Paul Jost is the very essence of Vocal Jazz today. There are no lies in his soul, no half-kept promises, and Breaking Through is one of the best Jazz albums of 2014. Johan van Deeg wrote in Jazz in Europe, “Vocalist Paul Jost is one of the best male jazz vocalists since Mark Murphy.” Credited for his unique arrangements on the CD, H. William Stine on Public Radio Exchange (PRX) said, “Paul Jost has raw passion and vocal musicianship. His arrangements defy the expected, his scatting is effortless, and his energy would challenge any accompanying musicians, and his band is up to the challenge.”

Whether scatting, playing guitar, incorporating body percussion or arranging the song in a unique way, “Breaking Through” demonstrates Paul’s eclectic talent. The first song, “Singing in the Rain,” begins with an atmosphere so tangible the listener feels transported and part of the journey. It is dedicated to his dear friend, legendary jazz pianist George Mesterhazy who is much of the inspiration for this recording. In “The Days of Wine and Roses” (with flutist Mark Adler), the backdrop is set against the ambience of a city park teeming with life and as a chance meeting place for two musicians who share a common language. Paul consistently presents the music so that each song contains surprising, intriguing elements.

One of the highlights of this recording is Paul’s original song, “Book Faded Brown.” This tender and compelling composition has been recorded by such legends as The Band, Rick Danko and Carl Perkins. Jost said, “It’s been such an honor to have had these incredible and iconic artists perform my music.” Rick Danko said, “'Book Faded Brown’ is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard or done.”
Most recently, Paul has collaborated with outstanding musicians on several projects. Serving as vocalist, harmonicist and arranger in The Jost Project, Paul joined forces with vibraphonist Tony Miceli, bassist Kevin MacConnell and drummer Charlie Patierno to produce “Can’t Find My Way Home” on Dot Time Records. This recording interprets classic rock in a jazz format with the goal of bringing new audiences to jazz, and they have cultivated fans around the world. Among Paul’s other music collaborations, he sings with the Diane Monroe Quintet and the David O’Rourke “O’Rourkestra.” He also performs duos with pianist Frank Strauss, with flutist Mark Adler and with bassist Tim Lekan. He and Lekan are also members of Antfarm Quartet with pianist Jim Ridl and drummer Bob Shomo.

Commercially, Paul’s voice can be heard on national jingles for Johnson & Johnson, Sears, Timberland, Anheuser Busch and others. As a prolific composer, Paul has written over 40 CD’s for major music libraries that are heard daily in over 750 markets throughout the United States and is a four-category, blue ribbon Billboard Song Contest winner. He has composed for both Canon Pictures and for N.B.C. including their Emmy Award Winning series, "Special Treat".
