Paul Plummer: saxophonist, played with George Russell

[Guy Berger]

I was listening to George Russell's The Outer View, and I was struck by how much Paul Plummer (the tenor saxophonist) reminded me of Wayne Shorter. I assume that was due to a common root in Lester Young.

Good as Plummer was with Russell, he became an even better and more individual player over the years, based in Indianapolis. Don't know about their currrent availability, but he made two fine CDs with Cincinnati-based drummer Ron Enyard for Cadence and an earlier quite magical one, an LP, with keyboard player Steve Corn. Last I heard, Plummer sadly had his lost teeth and had to stop playing.

Thanks for the info, Larry. I googled him and couldn't find anything.

I too only know him from the Russell LPs, but he's great on them. I'll have to dig those out when they're done remodeling my house!

I highly recommend Trio + Quartet on Quixotic.
