Paul Shinn Trio has released their sophomore album Easy Now: Live at the Green Lady Lounge. This album was recorded live back in August 2014 in front of an amazing crowd. The enthusiasm of the crowd and growing familiarity of the members certainly helped fuel one of the young trio's best performances.

Paul Shinn Trio Reason Pure. Of The Paul Shinn Trio's first release Paul says, "As a "working trio", the prodigious musical talents and unselfish nature of both Ryan (Lee) and Dominique (Sanders) have fostered a unique synergy over a period of weekly engagements at the Green Lady Lounge in Kansas City, MO. Thankfully, this recording captures the boundless energy and élan present in the trio's live performances."

OJT New Standards for the Green Lady. Ken Lovern: Hammond Organ 01 Chained Lightning 5:29 (Becker / Fagan) Produced by Ken Lovern Photos by Brandon Cale - ThePopperazi.com Specific thanks to Rick Prevallet of ToneWheelGeneral.com for his excellent organ and Leslie parts and maintenance. Special thanks to John Scott and the entire staff of the Green Lady Lounge, 1809 Grand Kansas City Missouri. A big thank you to all of the music fans who come to the Green Lady Lounge every week. This music only happens with your help. A big thanks to our families and everyone who encouraged us and helped us with this project. You know who you are and so do we. "Standards" are the tunes that Jazz musicians play. Usually they are mid-20th century Broadway show tunes, or some are original compositions by Jazz musicians that have earned the title Jazz standard. When OJT started performing at the Green Lady Lounge in early 2013, we immediately began playing our organ jazz arrangements of hit songs of the last few decades along with our original tunes and standards. The "new" tunes seemed a good fit for the venue and the band. Few, if any, of the tunes on this release could be considered standards. As far as we know, only four of these tunes have previous Jazz performances. Eleanor Rigby has been played by Wes Montgomery and others. Bobby Broom did an excellent version of Layla on his album Modern Man, and Charles Earland covered The Way You Make Me Feel. We may have been influenced by some of these versions. The Bad Plus has an esoteric and mellow version of Everybody Wants to Rule the World, but we weren't aware of that until recently. The of these tunes began their Jazz life at the hands of OJT. The Green Lady Lounge has a hip retro cocktail vibe that provides the perfect setting for playing Jazz. We hope that our treatment of these familiar tunes brings that vibe to your ears."
