There's unmistakable heart that connects with the listener in all of Paul's work. When describing this unique vocalist, two opinions are repeatedly expressed by both critics and contemporaries, “passionate storyteller” and “one of the best male jazz vocalists since Mark Murphy.”
“His mannerisms are disarming because he is so believable.
He sounds real.“ – Jazz Times
“Amazing sound, conviction, soul, lyricism, swing, groove, love and a hope for a better tomorrow. Not many people can give you all that in one song. Well, Paul Jost gives it to you in one measure.” – Orrin Evans/Pianist
His latest recording, "While We Were Gone" is a live double album ("Poetic Justice" and "An Appeal For Reason") recorded at Soapbox Gallery in Brooklyn, NY with his quartet featuring Jim Ridl (piano), Dean Johnson (bass) and Tim Horner (drums). Recorded during the pandemic, it continues to receive outstanding reviews in Stereophile, All About Jazz, Jazz In Europe, Hot House Jazz, New York City Jazz Record, LA Jazz Scene, JW Vibe and more.
Paul performs worldwide and always to similar raves. From Limerick, Pohang, Rochester, Pittsburgh, COTA and Exit Zero International Jazz Festivals to clubs in Paris, Belgium and such renowned jazz clubs in the U.S. as Blue Note, Dizzy’s, 55 Bar (with a monthly residence over four years), Mezzrow, SMOKE, Birdland, Kitano, Maureen's Jazz Cellar, Deer Head Inn on the East Coast and to Vitello's and The G Spot in LA and Crypto Jazz Festival in Newport Beach. He’s been a guest artist with Joe Locke, Orrin Evans, Houston Person, Janis Siegal, Lauren Kinhan and Dena DeRose and can be heard regularly on WRTI and WBGO.
Jost and his quartet were selected by the U.S. State Department to represent the United States as part of the America Music Abroad program. “Musical minds in perfect harmony” is the description by All About Jazz. The ensemble delivers fresh, passionate and compelling arrangements of songs drawn from The Great American Songbook, Jazz Favorites, Classic Popular Music and Original compositions.
