Paul's favorite setting has always been the classic jazz trio comprising grand piano, upright bass, and drums. The emphasis is on a full acoustic (rather than electric or amplified) sound. His trios play a broad repertoire ranging from Gershwin standards to Ellington jazz, and even feature an occasional Paul Milesi original as well.
