This signifies no musical importance. GBYork 20:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC) This user was found to be a sock of Mattisse

What is a "sac"? Is it sort of like a bagpipe? Paul Winter plays the soprano saxophone. Probably he's rarely credited as Paul Winter, but instead with his group called "Paul Winter Consort," with which he has performed since at least the late 1960s. He is definitely not of "no musical importance," as in addition to being a well regarded soprano saxophonist he has released about 30 albums, toured the world, performed annual high-profile concerts in New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine which are aired on National Public Radio each winter, and been the subject of a documentary film performing in the Grand Canyon. Let's address specifics once we know something rather than making pronouncements after visiting one website (and not even knowing enough to explore the "Paul Winter Consort" section of the All-Music Guide).

I added the link to Paul Winter's AMG page in the External links at the end of the entry. He has plenty of credits, both as himself and as the Consort. "No musical importance" - what a thing to say about a musician who helped bring bossa nova to the U.S., was a vital early exponent of both world music and new age, made a famous album produced by George Martin, and provided a launching pad for the jazz group Oregon (which is still active 35 years later).

...and is a 4-time Grammy winner. I'd say notable. Cricket02 18:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
