Paul Winter (born August 31, 1939) is an American saxophonist, composer and bandleader.
A seven-time Grammy Award-winner, he is recognized as one of the pioneers of the world music genre, and also for his genre of “earth music,” which interweaves the voices of the greater symphony of the wild with instrumental voices from classical, jazz and world music traditions.
The music is often improvised, and recorded in natural acoustic spaces, to reflect the qualities and instincts brought into play by the environment.
With his various ensembles—the Paul Winter Sextet, the Paul Winter Consort, and the Earth Band—he has recorded more than 40 albums, and performed in 52 countries and six continents.
