It is our aim to create music that is original and that will draw people because of what it is, not what it resembles. The music is the gateway. It is the means in which we earn the right to speak to a crowd which would not otherwise listen. After a two year wait before going back in the studio, Paradigm Shift played, lived, and observed as much of life as we could all in an effort to become a closer musical family. Street Expressionism is a direct result of those observations. We long ago decided that, although the jazz standards of yesteryear contained all the knowledge we collectively loved or for that matter needed, it was important for us to express some of the many other musical influences that have shaped us. Street Expressionism is a collection of original, traditional, and funk styles of jazz. We pay homage to the masters knowing that we will be learning from them for a lifetime. We also know that there is much to learn from the many voices, sounds and observations of the streets we traverse everyday, sometimes the expressions are humorous, sometimes sad but if we look just beyond the surface, always real. We hope you enjoy this music on any musical, spiritual, intellectual level you may find yourself.“
