Sounds Like: " You sound like the cats did when i was young and just breaking through-great horn, big tone,creative funky licks...a well informed young giant, a very laid back person.The big gun."...BOBBY PARKER------------"Paul Corry is one of the raunchiest, soul-fullest and and most melodic tenor sax players that i have had the pleasure to play with for a long time: a taste of the great Noble "THIN MAN" Watts, a taste of the raunchiness of Big Jay McNeely and with that richness of tone that reminds me so much of Earl Bostic. I have enjoyed playing with him very much." JIMMY THOMAS----------------"Damn good. You get that OLD sound. Move to Chicago...!" DIETRA FARR--------------"Paul Corry not only gets the audience going with his horn, he inspires the other musicians on stage as well"MICHAEL ROACH----------------------"Man i had a ball playing with Paul! He can honk that horn." SUGAR RAY NORCIA--------------------"Paul Corry is more than a talented musician, he..s one of those rare British blues artists who..s genuinely gifted and a craftsman who will entertain you with a performance full of fire and soul. The most natural British Blues saxophonist for years." OTIS GRAND-----------------------------"The moment of the show-the saxophone of Paul Corry" MACALLE BLUES FESTIVAL, ITALY---------------
