The saxophonist wrote two of the eight tracks: &#8220;You Know What I Mean,&#8221; a swinging shuffle with keyboardist Chuck Chaplain&#8217;s synthesized B3 sound, and the hard-grooving &#8220;Funk Influences.&#8221;<br \/>\nAfter a funky &#8220;Sweet &amp; Tangy (The Chicken),&#8221; guitarist Leroy Aych introduces a R&amp;B funk version of the Ramsey Lewis hit &#8220;Sun Goddess.&#8221; Paulin changes the pace with a nine-minute slow groove on Joe Zawinul&#8217;s &#8220;Mercy Mercy Mercy.&#8221; Drummer Doug Belote&#8217;s energizing street beat opens for Paulin&#8217;s sizzling sax and Craig Klein&#8217;s growling trombone on &#8220;The Preacher.&#8221; Paulin is positively torrid on the Marvin Gaye hit &#8220;What&#8217;s Going On?&#8221; and takes a slow but sizzling route to &#8220;Georgia on My Mind,&#8221; well supported by bassist Irving Charles. The musical merger works because Paulin possesses a chameleonlike command of his tenor, living up to his legacy as the son of New Orleans trumpeter &#8220;Doc&#8221; Paulin, who was a contemporary of Louis Armstrong.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/jazztimes.com\/articles\/11438-rpm-roderick-paulin\" target=\"_blank\">Patricia Myers, JazzTimes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/RPM-Roderick-Paulin\/dp\/B00001SVPT\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1447885258&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=roderick+paulin+rpm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-138\" src=\"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/amazon-button-02-e1424654609347.png\" alt=\"amazon-button-02\" width=\"129\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Paulin possesses a chameleonlike command of his tenor, living up to his legacy as the son of New Orleans trumpeter &#8220;Doc&#8221; Paulin, who was a contemporary of Louis Armstrong&#8221;. &#8220;Saxophonist Roderick Paulin, formerly lead player with ReBirth and Kermit Ruffins&#8217; Big Band, goes out on his own to further the melding of traditional jazz with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-catalogue","category-jazz"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5O8RF-9Q","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=610"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":642,"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610\/revisions\/642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lrhr.dreamhosters.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
