Bio
For thirty years Paul Dunmall has carved out a reputation for himself and is now widely recognised as one of the most uncompromising and talented reed players on the International jazz/improvised music scene.Whether playing in small groups or big bands his musical sensitivity and imagination combined with a powerful sound to make him one of the most distinctive improvisers playing today.His octet and Moksha big band showcases his abilities both as a composer drenched in the Jazz traditions and Folk traditions and as a sympathetic leader able to give maximum freedom to a elite group of fellow improvisers. After turning professional at seventeen and touring Europe for one year with progressive rock group Marsupilami he moved to America and lived there for 3 years playing with many musicians including Alice Coltrane and toured with Johnny Guitar Watson for one year.On his return to the UK he worked with folk musicians Polly Bolton/Kevin Dempsey and groupings worked around the Dando Shaft band.In 1979 he became a founder member of the jazz group Spirit Level with pianist Tim Richards plus playing free improvised music with the Nigel Morris trio.At this time also Paul played in the London Improvised music scene.In 1985 the group Tenor Tonic was formed with Alan Skidmore,Tony Levin and Paul Rogers.In 1987 Paul joined the London Jazz Composers Orchestra lead by Barry Guy and joined Danny Thompson's Folk/Jazz hybrid Whatever.The following year the outstanding collective quartet Mujician was formed with Keith Tippett,Tony Levin,Paul Rogers.Whilst playing in these groups Paul was also still playing in many ad hoc groups plus playing in several of Elton Deans ensembles.Since 2000 Paul is still freelancing and has been playing in the composer's Brian Irvine's 14 piece band.In 2003 Brian was commissioned by the BBC to write a full orchestral piece with freely improvised saxophone a long time dream of Paul's.In 2000 Paul set up his own improvised music record label with Philip Gibbs called Duns Limited Edition.It brought musicians together to improvise from many different traditions such as classical/folk/ethnic and to date has 52 releases. -

MySpace Clearance: Florida's online guide to live jazz & blues info is leaving MySpace.
Hello MySpace Friend!
Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites now. We thought Facebook was the way to go, but now it looks like that is disintegrating, too.
If you really want to connect to Florida's jazz & blues scene come check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com and if you like what you see, shoot me an email and let me know you want to sign up for our email list. You can opt for daily, weekly or monthly contact and change your mind at any time.
If you are musician based or touring here, our listings are free - we just need to know about them. Use the email address below to send us the info.
I am sure you understand the value of these connections and that nowadays providing that connection is your contribution to what keeps us going, like the money you used to spend on newspapers. This is a one-time request. We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we send this out so you will not be hearing from us again here.
See you on the other side, where the good music is happening! Please excuse us if you are already over there, we had to do this as auto as possible due to the high number of friends we have to process.

Paul D will ever be one of my great favourite saxophone player and improvisors of all time . in the steps of the Trane with a different soul, mind and voice .............. we can't stop listening to him
WSP have just uploaded new tracks and an album preview video onto their page. Do check them out because we'd love to know what you think!!
Also, we're embarking on a UK tour this month - all the dates are now up. If you can make it down to one of them, send us a direct message and you can receive a discounted album at the gig!
Best wishes
