"Paul plays with passion and clarity. He has an expansive and ever expanding range of improvisational approaches which makes his playing fresh, vibrant and unpredictable. His improvisations demonstrate a confident soulfulness ... And he has a unique and absolutely personal ability to touch listeners deeply, and deeper at every listening." - Wynton Marsalis

Release date is July 12 (Outside In Music Records).

He is currently a member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and has also played with many renowned artists and ensembles, including Chick Corea, Kenny Garrett, Benny Golson , Wynton Marsalis, Christian McBride, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wayne Shorter, and The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.

"I wanted this record to reflect several of my musical influences, to demonstrate how they've taken root in my playing, and to pay tribute to some of the great masters of our music. But I also wanted to show where I felt I could step out on my own and forge my own identity." - Paul Nedzela
