Paul Flaherty
Paul Flaherty is a fiery free jazz saxophonist known for his raw, emotive improvisations and relentless energy. A key figure in New England’s experimental music scene since the 1970s, Flaherty’s playing channels the spirit of free jazz pioneers like Albert Ayler, blending screeching overtones, melodic fragments, and visceral intensity. He’s frequently collaborated with drummers like Randall Colbourne and Chris Corsano, creating a discography of explosive live and studio recordings that feel both chaotic and deeply intentional. Recent releases like *Aria Nativa* and *Dragonfly Breath* showcase his enduring commitment to untethered expression, often recorded in stripped-down duo formats that highlight his conversational approach to improvisation. While largely underground, Flaherty’s work has earned cult admiration for its authenticity and refusal to compromise—a saxophonist who treats every performance like a cathartic ritual.
