Paul Combs (born 1946) is an American jazz musician, composer, arranger, author, and educator. Combs’s first musical memory was of listening to Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony as a toddler. He had his first musical training in church choir, and he played trombone as a child. But jazz was his main musical inspiration: after hearing James Moody on the radio, Combs felt he had to get a saxophone. Combs began playing professionally at age 17, doubling on flute and bass. Combs earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Composition from the Philadelphia Musical Academy, now the University of the Arts (Philadelphia) in 1968. He continued performing, and worked at WUHY-FM, now WHYY-FM, as broadcaster and producer of classical programming. He also produced concerts of folk music touring artists, later joining the folk touring circuit as singer/guitarist and backing up several folk singers and songwriters in concerts and on recordings, as guitarist and bassist. These singers included Utah Phillips, Paul Geremia, Mary McCaslin, Jim Ringer, Paul Siebel and Rosalie Sorrels. More information...
