More Info
 Led by drummer and chief composer Paul Derricott, Arrow launch their innovative debut album for Jazzgroove, Big Sea. The band’s performances are open - the compositions only a rough guide for the various members to navigate using their marked creativity and cohesion. Paul’s interest in popular music is evident throughout the album with its simple yet strong melodic content, coupled with shifting rhythmic information. Big Sea offers lush ballads, subtle grooves, exploratory soundscapes and driving rhythms; a great vantage point from which to listen to music unfold from these very talented musicians.
Paul Derricott, 27, is committed to developing his own strong musical voice. Paul’s passion is improvised thematic music. During his time at the Sydney Conservatorium (B Mus Jazz Performance 2005) Paul studied with musical personalities such as Andrew Dickerson, Gordon Rytmiester, Dave Goodman, Andrew Gander, David Jones, Judy Bailey, Steve Brien. Paul also credits friend and pianist Sean Wayland as having a major impact on his playing and composing. Paul has established himself as a member of the The Denominators Uncle Jed, Miss Donne, MG and The Frauds, New School Collective (Cairns), The Mark Lewis Quartet and The Matt Crane quartet. Paul has also worked with Carl Dewhurst, Brendan Clarke Dave Panichi, Nick Bowd, Sean Wayland, James Muller, Dave Theak, Chuck Yates, Jane Irving, Dale Barlow, Warwick Alder, Don Rader and as the leader of Arrow.
Paul has also dabbled in post rock with Sydney based band Zephyrs Dog and has also got some serious studio time under his belt working with Matt Jackson, Matt McHugh (Beautiful Girls) Donne, Uncle Jed, Leeroy Lee, M.G. and the Frauds, Lanie Lane and many other emerging pop acts. Recently Paul received the Buzz under 26 emerging Artist Grant from the Arts Council of Australia with this funding Paul has recorded his first full length all original album. Paul has just returned from a breif stint in the UK where he toured Europe with Aron Ottingtons band Aronas, performed at the London Jazz Festival with The London Jazz Collective and also was a guset artist with the Oxford Univesity Big Band on their tour to the North Sea Jazz festival.
