Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Jazz Saxophonist & Composer Paul Carlon .. We caught up with him about his new 2024 CD Blues for Vita and a quality life in jazz. He grew up in rural central New York and started started playing music in the 4th grade at school. Paul attempted to follow in the footsteps of his older string-playing siblings by taking cello lessons, but the vibrant timbre and mystery of the sax called to him more. From there his experience with music was a mixture of schooled and self-taught. After finishing a degree in English Literature from Cornell University in 1991, Paul moved to NYC and became part of the thriving 90's straight ahead jazz scene. He’s got quite a story. Dig.
