Cadence Magazine says the music of Paul Kogut “might just be the prescription needed." A recent addition to the Chicago scene, guitarist Paul Kogut has appeared extensively in New York City and Boston. Paul has worked with artists Charles Earland, J.R. Monterose, and Clark Terry; current Chicago appearances put him in the company of Kelly Sill, Steve Million and Tim Davis. In addition he has led his own trio at numerous venues, including Manhattan's renowned 55 Bar, the Zinc Bar, and the Jazz in the Valley festival. He holds a Master's Degree from Manhattan School of Music and has served on the jazz faculty of Hamilton College.



Speaking of Paul, John Abercrombie says, “His musical approach to guitar playing, and his compositional skills, are first rate," and Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers calls Paul “a great guitar player." James Keepnews describes his current Blujazz release, “Know It? I Wrote It!" as “a memorable first date, one that will appeal to the taciturn jazzbo and the festival twirler alike."

If you are like most people, the dawning of 06 saw you resolved to eat better, exercise regularly and hear more jazz guitar. You're on your own with the first two, but Monday January 9th at the 55 Bar offers you a great opportunity to make good on the latter with two excellent trios. One time New Yorker Paul Kogut now resides in Chicago where he has fast ascended to the top of the guitar heap, fusing fresh language and a thorough study of the instrument to form a unique jazz voice. Following Kogut is guitar titan Mike Stern, a fixture at the 55 Bar on Monday nights for over a decade. Stern, an ultra-fluent improviser is easily one of the most influential guitarists of his generation and has worked and recorded with numerous legendary players including Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, and Jaco Pastorius. Kogut 7-9 no cover/no min Stern 9:30-1:30 $5 cover $10 min. 55 Christopher St. (btwn. 7th Ave. So. & Waverly Place) 212-929-9883

PAUL KOGUT
55 BAR / JANUARY 9
Perhaps you heard guitarist Kogut during 1994-98, when he was involved in a graduate program at Manhattan school and gigging around town at places like the 55, Zinc Bar and Augie's. He's since relocated to Chicago where, he reports, playing opportunities are ample. His trio this time includes Dave Ambrosio on bass and Vinnie Sperrazza playing drums. We liked Paul's recent CD on the BluJazz label - and especially enjoyed its title: Know It? I Wrote It!" The tunes featured aren't all originals; covers range from “In Your Own Sweet Way" to “Can't Buy Me Love." But Kogut lines like “Fat Cat," “Small Doses" and “Jay Walk" swing the hardest.
