Performance: 3
Sound: 3
Score: 69
O’s Notes: Paul showcases a rather gruff tone from his tenor sax in two configurations. He forms a quartet with Marc Neely (t, flugelhorn), Patrick Poladian (p), and Roy Cumming (b) for the odd numbered tracks, and a trio with Dan Kostelnik (organ) and Rudy Petschauer (d) on the even numbered songs. While the album is titled Live at Vic’s Jazz Loft (Jim Thorpe, PA), the trio were recorded in a studio with better audio quality. Kendall sounds best on “Up Jumped Spring “, “Nardis”, and “Strolling”
