Paul Furniss – Flying Solo

Paul Furniss is an oustanding performer on many reed instruments. He is a regular player in many top bands, and is in constant demand to play at jazz festivals. Since the late 1970s he has been leading his own San Francisco Jazz Band. (See BWCD-13)
However, this CD features Paul as a soloist – on clarinet and soprano saxophone – with an interesting range of tunes, including some well known and some of his own. He is backed by two excellent rhythm sections. In three tunes by David Basden, he is backed by a piano only. The original recordings were made in 1985 and 1990.
