Late Winter / Early Spring10. Slipstream The John Paulson Big Band Project Liner Notes by John C. Paulson The goal of this project was to perform and record a set of big band jazz charts I began writing nearly 30 years ago. In 2011, I was successful in acquiring a McKnight Individual Artist grant thru the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council to help make this happen. First of all I had to do extensive rewriting and finishing work on each existing chart since many of the necessary details had not been completed. In the process I came up with some new charts along the way. While I was completing all of the writing tasks, I started work on lining up the best area musicians I could find for each spot in the band as well as investigating some of the top soloists in the Midwest. This led me to utilizing the talents of Twin Cities artists Adam Meckler, (trumpet and flugelhorn); Scott Agster, (trombone) and guitarist Scott Gerry (a former student of mine). The grant provided for an extensive afternoon rehearsal followed by a public concert at the Winona Art Center November 17, 2012. Plans were also to include recording the event. Although the venue was rather small for the project, it ended up working very well and the artwork in place made a great setting. Unfortunately, we had to turn people away but those who got a seat were very enthusiastic about the music and the soloists that evening. What was to be only a single concert ended up to be three concerts in the next few months and what wasn't recorded "live" was completed in a single session at Saint Mary's U. in May of 2013. The audio CD also includes two 'live' tracks from a John Paulson Jazz Sextet concert we did in January 2013 at Century High School-'Late Winter-Early Spring' by Larry Price and 'Slipstream' by John Paulson. I hope you'll enjoy the energy and spirit we've captured on these recordings. For more information on this and other projects, please visit my website at paulsonjazz.com. Thanks for listening!
