Paul Combs Quartet: Jazz In the Movies - Early Show

“If you dig soprano saxophone, you really should hear this guy. He’s playing some of the most interesting straight horn around.“  - Larry Nai, Cadence Magazine

Paul Combs – saxes, Jude Poorten – guitar, Max Beckman – bass, Sam Russo – drums

San Diego-based Paul Combs has been playing professionally as both a leader and a sideman for more than forty years.  He currently leads a quintet devoted exclusively to the music of Tadd Dameron, whose biography, “Dameronia – the Life and Music of Tadd Dameron” he authored and published recently to coincide with the jazz legend’s centennial. For this show, Combs is joined by three of the Valley’s most talented young jazz artists to explore music by jazz composers used in movies, and music from movies that have become jazz standards. You are bound to hear several of your favorites songs from the silver screen.
