PAUL WINTER'S WORLD OF LIVING MUSIC:
EXPLORE PAUL WINTER'S WORLD OF LIVING MUSIC:
The story of Living Music is interwoven with that of the Paul Winter Consort, two entities which evolved during a forty year saga of adventure-through-music, beginning with The Paul Winter Sextet in the early 1960s and the early Consort in the 1970's.
Touring with his Jazz Sextet, with whom he made 5 albums; close contact with the musical community of Brazil, where he made 2 albums; and a growing interest in the natural world and voices of the earth, awakened in Paul Winter the desire to move into a broader realm of music and explore a richer texture of sound. To this end, he formed the Paul Winter Consort.
Formed by Winter in 1967, the Winter Consort became one of the earliest exponents of world music, combining elements from various African, Asian, and South American cultures with jazz. The early Winter Consort made 5 albums with producers including George Martin, Paul Stookey and Phil Ramon, before Living Music was created in 1980. Living Music became the recording context for the Paul Winter Consort and Paul Winter's community of colleagues, although Paul Winter has also appeared as a guest artist on other labels.
