Words for Ancient Lights
"Paul Keeling’s new release "Ancient Lights" is a melodic, flowing and delightful recording of the pianist’s newest compositions. The interplay between Keeling and his band mates is wonderful – Keeling is both composer and leader, but also spins terrific musical comps and harmonies around his colleagues when they are the lead instrumentalists."
Dave Rogers, WTJU Radio
