ENSEMBLE ALBUMS FROM PAUL WINTER'S LIVING MUSIC

"Several things differentiate the Consort. The first is talent. But the main difference is Winter's guiding vision for the music, which comes from many years thinking, searching, and experimenting. [..] He retains the ancient notion that music is a way to harmonize with other cultures, with nature, with the entire vibrating universe. [..] He hopes his music will make the world more beautiful, more open, more loving, more communcal, more committed, more positive." (NORTHEAST MAGAZINE)

"What makes Winter's Consort a group to be taken seriously is its uncompromising musicality. These are virtuoso musicians. And with their shared outlook, musical as well as political, there's a group dynamic rarely to be found in today's hurly-burly, let's-make-a-deal music business" (JAZZ TIMES)

SPANISH ANGEL

The Paul Winter Consort's 1992 tour of Spain was their third visit and one of their most uplifting tours. Roused by fervent audiences, stimulated by the vibrant acoustics of classic old opera houses and concert halls, the Consort (Paul Winter, Paul Halley, Eugene Friesen, Glen Velez, Rhonda Larson, Eliot Wadiopian) gave dynamic performances which, captured on state-of-the-art recording equipment, have resulted in a favorite and Grammy-winning album.

"The Consort is a well-rehearsed, all-acoustic ensemble of extremely accomplished instrumentalists [..] 'Spanish Angel' is like a great classical album [..] cross-cultural and timeless." (WHOLE LIFE TIMES)

SUN SINGER

A lyrical and elegant trio album recorded in New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, SUN SINGER features Paul Winter (soprano sax), Paul Halley (pipe organ, piano, harpsichord) and Glen Velez (hand percussion) .

Inspired by the Swedish sculptor Carl Milles' huge bronze statue of a man, head thrown back, singing a salute to the sun, SUN SINGER is a celebration of the sun and the different ways in which we experience it.

"Some of the loveliest and most inspiring playing you'll ever hear" (SHOWCASE)
