Paul Gunn Collective

Paul Gunn

Paul Gunn pianist and composer is self-taught. He lives in Tunbridge Wells and has put together The Paul Gunn Collective featuring musicians who work with The London Philharmonic Orchestra, Glyndebourne, and many famous names from the music industry such as Wynton Marsalis, Burt Bacharach and Bryan Ferry.

Paul writes music for cello soloist and five piece band inspired by the Baroque, Latin Rhythms and the British Pop Culture of the 1960s and 70s. He released his first album on CD ‘A Beekeepers’s Garden’ in October 2018. His priority is to perform new compositions to live audiences and of course the Covid crisis has put a stop to that, as is the case with all performing artists. Paul is therefore very grateful to Josie and everyone at Pickhams for including his music in the ELSTOAF showcase and hopes one day to bring his live band to Pickhams.

paul gunn link to atlantic drift track

“Atlantic Drift” This short version dips into the middle of the track with what Prog Magazine described as “A soul-healing cello solo” which captures nicely what I am trying to achieve.

Paul gunn beg to differ screen chot

“I Beg To Differ” this short version leaves out the slow piano introduction and cracks straight into the horn section theme. Although I don’t pursue Jazz, this has been compared to Miles Davis and Chick Corea
