"Paul Shapiro's fat tenor sound has graced the music of such diverse artists as Lou Reed, Michael Jackson, Nyorican Soul, the Microscopic Septet and Brooklyn Funk Essentials of which he was a founding member. On Tzadik he can be heard on two of the label's most beloved recordings, Steven Bernstein's Diaspora Soul and Daniel Zamier's Children of Israel. For his Tzadik debut, Paul has brought together a remarkable band of long-lime associates to perform loungey, old-school jazz renditions of seven Jewish classics and two moody originals. Midnight Minyan is a treasure for young and old."

Title:	It's In the Twilight
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 8107

"Following up on the enormous success of his first CD for Tzadik, Midnight Minyan, Shapiro here turns his prodigious arranging talents and fat tenor sound to eight of his own compositions and two liturgical melodies evoking the spiritual transition of the mundane to the holy, from light to darkness and back again. With It's in the Twilight, Paul brilliantly greets the Sabbath bride, capturing the joyous feeling of a Friday night Shabbat service with his all star band of downtown luminaries. Down home jazz and rhythm and blues meet Jewish Music in this dynamic meeting of the secular and the spiritual."
