Paul F Murphy
Paul is a true master improviser. He was a child prodigy at the age of seven. He studied drums with Gene Krupa and Joseph Leavitt. His musical training was further enhanced by attending seminars conducted by the legendary Louie Bellson. By the age of sixteen, he was playing Bebop with Duke Ellington’s Bassist, Billy Taylor. As one of the innovators of Avant-Garde, Paul moved to the West Coast and started playing in San Francisco and the Bay area with Steve D’Amico and Mary Anne Driscoll. In 1974 Jimmy Lyons heard Paul play and asked him to come to New York to join his group.
For the next twelve years, Paul played, recorded and toured the USA and Europe with Jimmy. During this New York period, Paul led his own fabulous Quintet with the legendary Dewey Johnson, Jay Oliver, Mary Anne Driscoll, and Karen Borca.
