Drew
Paralic is a very lyrical composer and arranger of music in
the standard vein (American popular music prior to the advent
of rock'n'roll) with definite jazz arrangements.
This
is his first CD, but he has been writing music for the past
17 years.
As a
music major in college and over the years, he has been exposed
to / been influenced by many different genres of music, but
jazz is his first choice for expression.
Various
saxophones with a rhythm section, a piano trio and one solo
piano realization, of nine Paralic originals, make up his debut
cd entitled "Too Little, Too Late".
**Recipient
of the OutMusic Award (OMA) for Outstanding Songwriter, 2002**
"Paralic's
CD...(40 minutes of original instrumental compositions performed
by the excellent Mike Capobianco Ensembles)...is upbeat, warm
and consistantly engaging."
Jason Serinus, freelance music critic based in San Fransisco
"...
there is a new kid in town. In the world of jazz instrumentals,
"Too Little, Too Late" is a fantastic collection of
songs. Whether you utilize this CD for background music at an
elegant dinner party, or a way to put your friends in a good
mood at an informal get together, this is music that will make
you feel good. Drew Paralic has composed and arranged original
music that will make you sit up and take notice."
