> Paul was one of the pioneers of free improvisation, and many

> finest improvisers in the area.  He was certainly a very  
> distinctive musician – many players had been influenced by him to  
> some degree (not only trombonists), but no one sounded anything  
> like him.  Among his most important performances were his  
> unaccompanied solos, and those in his trio Iskra 1903 that  
> contained Barry Guy and either Derek Bailey or Philipp Wachsmann.   
> He was a gentle, kind man with an outrageous sense of humour, and  
> will be sorely missed.  However, he also suffered from bouts of  
> depression, and was frustrated that he was not recognised more widely.
