Hailing from New Jersey, New York, Kentucky, Maine, and Tennessee, themembers of Paradigm came together in 2005, and in a short time, thegroup has already wowed audiences. Individual members have shared thestage with an assortment of musicians from a wide range of genres,including: Clark Terry, Paquito D'Rivera, Keller Williams, DelfeayoMarsalis, Vince Welnick, Andy Narell, and members of Garaj Mahal.

Jazz is the common ground, yet the members of Paradigm, each of whom isconstantly in demand for freelance work and various other musicalprojects, all bring a unique accent to the group's collective voice.Paradigm blends modern jazz exploration with the raw power and sonicpossibilities of indie rock, with some prog tendencies thrown in forgood measure. Call it "furious alternative jazz."
