Wynne Paris has been joyfully
involved in Kirtan and yoga music for 10 years. His
connection with yoga and jazz goes back much further.
His Grandmother has been a Yogananda follower since
the 60's, his Grandfather produced Jazz recordings
with the legendary clarinetist Sydney Bechet.
A pro musician for over 20 years,
Wynne?s life as a nightclub musician ended the day
he was invited to play music with the Indian saint
Ammachi in 1996. The Darshan he received from ?the
Hugging saint? changed the direction of his music
and soul. After moving from Washington DC to California,
he started accompanying Bhagavan Das and Krishna Das
at kirtans and concerts.
Since then he has recorded with,
produced, and performed with many of the well known
Yoga and World Beat musicians, including Badal Roy,
Dave Stringer, Wah!, Girish, David Newman, Guru Ganesha,
Sophia, Rasa,and many others. He also plays the sarod,
an Indian instrument similar to the Sitar, and appears
on the Krishna Das recordings Pilgrim Heart, Planet
Yoga, and All One. Some of the venues Wynne has performed
at include, the Kennedy Center, Jivamukti, Omega,
Kripalu, Yogaville.
When not performing at yoga
centers, festivals and concerts, Paris spends his
time in the recording studio. He is currently working
on a new cd with producer/drummer Rick Allen (Def
Leppard) and Grammy nominated organist JT Thomas (Bruce
Hornsby band).
