In September I’ll be appearing in Los Angeles and appreciate that Doc Wendell of LA Jazz Scene recently reviewed my new CD, “Simple Life. We’ll be publishing the LA Dates as soon as possible so watch this space….

Here is a snippet of the review. You can read the full review on the LA Jazz Scene Website Here.

By Doc Wendell
Paul Jost has proven to be one of the most enthralling and soulful voices in jazz today. His second album Simple Life gives his fans a deeper glimpse into his genius. This latest recording features a wide range of material from The Beatles to Sonny Rollins. Jost is joined by Jim Ridl on acoustic piano and synth, Dean Johnson, acoustic bass, Tim Horner, Drums and percussion and a gust appearance by the great Joe Locke on vibes.

The album kicks off with a swinging version of the Beatles “Blackbird” which features Jost’s amazing scat singing and Joe Locke on vibes. This is followed by “If I Only Had A Brain” by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg. Yost’s vocal phrasing is phenomenal as is his harmonica work. Jost’s reading of Duke Ellington’s “Caravan” is burning. Here you’ll hear some of the greatest scat singing put down on record. The band is adventurous and rhythmic. The addition of Joe Locke is a real treat.
