Paragon
Peter Ehwald - saxophones; Arthur Lea - piano, rhodes; Matthias Nowak - bass; Jon Scott - drums. The melody is carried from one to another. Time keeping is shared. Ideas are all over the place.

Self-importance, simple bad manners and selfishness rule the world with little space to reflect on or listen to what others have ...

It's been a decade since Anglo-German quartet Paragon formed. Cerca, recorded on an unspecified two days in Cologne, is the band's third release. The sax and Rhodes frontline, backed up by Matthias Nowak's bass and Jon Scott's drums, creates an elegant repertoire of tunes that draws on influences as diverse as '60s spiritual jazz and hip-hop ...
