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."
