Pianist extraordinaire Paul Plimley has been raising eyebrows for years now.  Those among the lucky have had the opportunity to catch Plimley in performance with the likes of Han Bennink, Mats Gustafsson, Joe McPhee, Evan Parker, John Oswald, Ken Vandermark, Mark Dresser, Hamid Drake, Rene Lussier, Cecil Taylor, Joey Baron, Ned Rothenberg, Derek Bailey, George Lewis, Andrew Cyrille, Louis Moholo, Vinny Golia, Eddie Prevost, Barry Guy, Miya Masaoka, Buell Neidlinger, and Randy Raine Reusch, among others.  Of notable mention are his long standing associations with the NOW Orchestra, of which he is a co-founder, and his duos and trios with Lisle Ellis.  Some select recordings from the last few years include NOIR, with Lisle Ellis and Gregg Bendian; STUDY-WITCH GONG GAME 11/10, with Barry Guy and the NOW Orchestra; and his own solo recording, EVERYTHING IN STAGES. Most recent recordings include a duo release with Barry Guy called SENSOLOGY; a duo with South Indian master musician Trichy Sankaran; an interpretation of the music of Miles Davis called YO MILES! with Henry Kaiser and Leo Smith, and a trio recording with Lisle Ellis and Scott Amendola called SAFECRACKERS.
