Paraty is led by Norma Daykin, alto sax player and composer. They play original compositions and arrangements, from tropical dance grooves through to meditative soundscapes. Norma is well known as sax player with acoustic singer songwriter Lorraine Ayensu. Her compositions have been performed by leading jazz musicians, inlcuding a commissioned piece for the London Jazz Festival 2007, which was performed by the Guildhall Big Band with Jiggs Whigham on trombone The band are named in tribute to legendary Afro-Brazilian jazz pianist Don Pullen. The band play in various combinations from quartet to octet and more and the full line up is a dazzling combination of Bristol talent.

Hi Norma,

Don't want to fill up your comments page with shameless album launch plugs but I hear there's this band called Mankala and they're rather good and believe it or not they're having an album launch in your neck of the woods this Fri. See you there ;-)!

Cheers,
Sol

Hello!

I am just letting all our friends know about recent news.

Our new limited edition CD is going fast. You can order it on our myspace page.

We had a very successful gig at the Bristol Jazz Society at the White Horse in Bedminster, Bristol on Thursday, and we have a video of the second set. Check it out on our page.

Hope to you see you sometime at our regular gig in Litton, Sommerset if you can make it. As the gig is simulcast on the Internet and in Second Life, even our friends in America can now come to the show!

Good wishes to you all,

-Dino
