A recent addition to the Chicago scene, guitarist Paul Kogut has appeared extensively in New York City and Boston. Paul has worked with artists Charles Earland, J.R. Monterose, and Clark Terry; current Chicago appearances put him in the company of Kelly Sill, Steve Million and Tim Davis.
In addition, he has led his own trio at numerous venues, including Manhattan’s renowned 55 Bar, the Zinc Bar, and the Jazz in the Valley festival. He holds a Master’s Degree from Manhattan School of Music and has served on the jazz faculty of Hamilton College.
Speaking of Paul, John Abercrombie says, “His musical approach to guitar playing, and his compositional skills, are first rate,” and Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers calls Paul “a great guitar player.”
James Keepnews describes his current Blujazz release,“Know It? I Wrote It!” as “a memorable first date, one that will appeal to the taciturn jazzbo and the festival twirler alike."
