O’s Notes: Bassist, composer Peter Paulson leads a quintet with Chris Hanning (d), Ron Stabinsky (p), Jonathan Ragonese (sax) and John Swana (EVI) on Would’a… Could’a… Should’a… Paulsen is dedicated to educating the next generation, but he is also a capable performer as demonstrated on this release. The music is refreshing modern jazz. “More Importantly, How Are You?”, “Fine Feathered”, “Twilight Curtain Call”, and “Inner Chambers” are notable.
