Paul Shapiro

Paul Shapiro, saxophonist, flautist, composer and bandleader, has been active in New York 's creative music scene for over two decades. Throughout the eighties he led his own avant-funk band Foreign Legion, which was featured on Emergency Records' compilation "This Is The Funk." Paul was a longtime member of Philip Johnston's Microscopic Septet that toured internationally and recorded for Stash and Osmosis Records.

His most noted work from that period is his song-length flute solo on Frankie Knuckles' "The Whistle Song," which became a top-ten pop hit in the UK, and an international dance club classic
