Description

Paul appeared in the Oscar-nominated film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” where his hands play the piano as a double for Brad Pitt.

His style is an appealing lite jazz. Paul makes the analogy that his piano playing is like Frank Sinatra’s vocals. His piano interpretations include songs written by:

• George Gershwin • Duke Ellington • Cole Porter • Matt Dennis • Oscar Hammerstein • Jerome Kern • Antonio Carlos Jobim • and many others

The music is relaxing and is suitable for any occasion. Paul can accommodate your need for a duo, trio, quartet or a vocalist for your function. Also, if an acoustic piano is unavailable, Paul will use his digital piano.

Listed below is only a partial song list. Why not listen to some of his arrangements to hear for yourself!

  • We were extremely happy to have had Paul perform at our event. Not only was he an exceptionally nice person, his performance lent an air of sophistication and elegance to the whole evening. He was very accomodating, making sure everything would be as we wanted. We have two more daughters, hopefully we'll have two more weddings, and two more opportunities to see Paul again! -- Cindy J, Chestertown, IN, 5/28/2006
