Biography

Hailed as a founding father of new age music, Paul Horn is a versatile and widely popular recording artist with a number of albums to his credit, including Inside the Taj Mahal, which has sold more than three-quarters of a million copies. Flutist Paul Horn’s story is an inspiring odyssey of world travel, expansive musical creativity, psychological evolution, and spiritual transformation. For over three decades, Horn has maintained a high public profile, increasing his audience even as he has changed creative directions - classical music, jazz, fusion, pop, new age music, world music.

Horn has journeyed around the world several times, often playing for thousands of people in concert halls, recording these albums in their famous locations—Inside the Taj Mahal, in India, Inside the Great Pyramid , in Egypt, and Inside the Cathedral, in Vilnius, Lithuania. In 1987, he made a recording that was nominated for the Best New Age Grammy; no wonder he entitled that album Traveler. Born in New York, raised in Washington D.C., Horn began his study of classical piano and clarinet as a child. He graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and earned his Masters degree at the Manhattan School of Music. After a stint in the Army, he briefly played in the Sauter–Finegan big band, then joined the famous Chico Hamilton Quintet.

    Comenzó en los años 60 a crear improvisaciones etnicas y lo que dio lugar años mas tarde a la new age, algunos fueron padres y este fue padre de ellos, un musico de jazz fino fino del estilo westcoast, su personal forma de interpretar, desde aquel primer disco con RAVI SHANKAR, y sus Mahabuthas, elementos, me ha encantado oirlo aqui, mi primera escucha en vuestra/ nestra radio, GRACIAS POR SER.
