“EACH generation finds a new way to speak of their times through music,” says prime saxophonist Paul Dunmall.
He should know. Born in south London in 1953, he grew up with a mother who loved classical music and a father who was a semi-professional drummer.
Dunmall started on clarinet aged 12 and moved on to alto saxophone a few years later “as my father thought that playing jazz might be a good option.”
