Influences
"In Paul's life, there exists a parallel reality the window to which isn't quite shut properly." Steve K Hamilton, Pianist
"Towndrow pulls off the difficult trick of making bop sound contemporary and relevant - the Scots seem to have that knack, and Towndrow’s got it in spades." Sholto Byrnes
"From the heat and light generated by this sextet, you’d never guess it recorded this set in the depths of a Scottish winter, powered only by an emergency generator. Out of it came an album which oozes fiery intensity from first to last. " Pete Martin, Jazz UK
"Six By Six is the album, one just knew, Towndrow had in him. Everything about it - playing, writing, arrangements - is just right. There is a depth and integrity to this record that is quite remarkable." Duncan Heining, Jazzwise Magazine
"From the opening track this music jumps out at you, it’s so fresh and invigorating." Peter Bevan, The Northern Echo.
