Paul Asaro’s ebullient stride-piano technique vividly
evokes an earlier era. You don’t encounter pre-bebop jazz
of this quality and commitment very often anymore.”
– Howard Reich of Chicago Tribune

High, Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project.”
      by Loudon Wainwright III
      and featuring Paul Asaro on piano
Grammy Award Winner 2010: Best Traditional Folk Album

Mr. Asaro at the piano is a one man orchestra,
his left hand often representing reeds and strings,
the right hand a Sousa-influenced brass band.”
—Alvin Klein, New York Times

The real star of the show is Paul Asaro, a fabulous
jazz pianist who will keep your feet tapping and
your eyes on his amazing hands.”
—Toby Zinman, Philadelphia City Paper

Paul Asaro has a rich honky tonk flair and
a stride technique that recalls Fats Waller in his prime.”
—Lawrence Bommer, Chicago Reader

Asaro is a sensitive accompanist,
underpinning Obba Babatunde’s vocalism
with a sturdy beat and attentive flexibility.”
—Clifford A. Ridley, The Philadelphia Inquirer

There is a new light shining
among the stars of the stride heavens,
and his name is Paul Asaro.”
—Robert Ault, Sedalia Rag
