"Girl in Green" -- the back story:

19 years ago I was thrilled to play on and produce a recording featuring the great David Liebman along with Grammy winner Ed Calle. Supporting these two giants were some of Houston's musical giants in our very midst: the incomparable Dennis Dotson (trumpet), eternally enigmatic Brennen Nase (bass), stalwart James Metcalfe (percussion) and our good friend Mike Drake (drums) from Dallas. As things often go in this business, the small record company broke up and our masters lay untouched in hidden vaults for the past two decades. Now, thanks to PARMA Records and the efforts of many, are finally be able to share the fruits of our labor.

What our listeners are saying:

"Getting to know jazz artist and Steinway artist Paul English over the past couple of summers has been an honor...and his new CD called Peace Offering is exactly what our world needs, literally!! Amazing how Paul has musically found a way to bring one's mind to a calm, meditative state without one knowing it's happening..... We all could use a lot more of Paul English.....?thank you Paul?." (Matt Guggenheim, Piano Technician for the Portland Symphony Orchestra of Portland, Maine)

"...true meditations: easy, quiet, and calm. Relaxing and soothing throughout ... the perfect complement to a dimly lit evening or a rainy afternoon, with a glass of wine or a good book, alone or with a friend. Any occasion where soft jazz or instrumental piano meditations are called for is a perfect application for this CD. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something soft and low-key." (John)
