notes
Paul Crotty is a renaissance man in the truest sense of the phrase… under the classic description it is a man
who is in a position to acquire more than superficial knowledge about many different interests; … a person
who excels in multiple fields, particularly in both arts and sciences. During his life Paul has been a world-
class athlete (pitching a "no-hitter"), a warrior (serving as a Sergeant in the US Marine Corps from 1953
through 1957, an inventor and, as this recording displays, a gifted composer and musician.
A child prodigy from the Morristown NJ area, Paul's first brush with fame came when he was selected by
the US Marine Corps to perform for President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles at a private party in Virginia. That performance and meeting with "Ike" inspired Crotty to continue
with his music as a career following his military service. Over the next forty years, he performed and composed
music and supplemented his craft by tuning and restoring pianos for some of the greatest musicians of all time
such as Teddy Wilson, Nina Simone, Gene Kruppa, Count Basie, Victor Borge and Duke Ellington…. The list
goes on and on.
This recording focuses on a consistent theme in all of Paul's work; romance and tenderness. A blend of
original compositions and carefully selected standards presents Crotty's virtuoso piano in a light that reminds
us of much simpler and more romantic times when wonderful melodies and impassioned performances ruled
the bandstand. So, listen up and you will want to play this recording again and again and with someone you
love!
