O’s Notes: Producer Ron Kearns found Paul in a local DC club fifteen years ago. He was playing with George Colligan (p) and Terell Stafford (t) in a quintet. They made Paul’s debut recording with lots of success. Today we find Carr and Stafford more mature with their sound mellowing like the finest of wines. They play the music of DC’s finest composers including a couple of Carr’s own and a couple of standards. Both Paul and Terell are on their ‘A’ games. Whether soloing or harmonizing, they sound as if they’d been playing together continuously. The magic is here across all nine tracks.
