> ABOUT PAUL SHAPIRO
> New York-based saxophonist/flautist/composer Paul Shapiro
> (www.PaulShapiroMusic.com <http://www.paulshapiromusic.com/> ) has been active
> in New York's creative music scene for over two decades.  He is best known for
> his recording and performance work with an astonishingly diverse array of
> musicians and producers:  Queen Latifah, Ofra Haza, Marc Anthony, Frankie
> Knuckles, Ben Folds Five, Janet Jackson, Naughty by Nature, Lou Reed, Khaled,
> Brian McKnight, Majek Fashek, Towa Tei, Marshall Crenshaw, N'Dea Davenport,
> Mariah Carey, Satoshi Tomile, and Yoko Kanno's Cowboy Bebop.
>  
> Shapiro's debut recording as a leader is the instrumental "Midnight Minyan,"
> which was released on John Zorn's Tzadik Records label in 2003 and presented
> R&B and swing arrangements of traditional liturgical music.  Following up on
> the enormous success of "Midnight Minyan," Shapiro turned his prodigious
> arranging talents and fat tenor sound to eight of his own compositions and two
> liturgical melodies in "It's in the Twilight," also on Tzadik Records.
>  
> PAUL SHAPIRO'S "RIBS & BRISKET REVUE"
> Paul Shapiro's "Ribs & Brisket Revue" was launched in late 2003 and has been
> playing at Cornelia Street Café in New York and other venues since. The group,
> with both Jewish and African-American musicians, emerged from Shapiro's
> interest in Jewish music and its contribution to jazz in the early decades of
> the 20th century.
>  
> Cast mostly in the form of swing and jump, the bouncy, jazzy R&B variant
> popularized by saxophonist Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five in the 1940s, the
> Revue features Shapiro on saxophone, Brian Mitchell on piano, Tony Lewis on
> drums, Booker King on bass and vocalists Babi Floyd and Priscilla Owens.
>  
> Generous support from Roe Green and the Green Arts Fund of the Jewish
> Community Federation of Cleveland has helped make The Mandel JCC 2007-08 Arts
> & Culture Season possible.  Media sponsor is The Cleveland Jewish News.
> Complimentary accommodations are provided by Marriott Cleveland East.
