All About Jazz magazine captured the appeal of the 4tet in a review: “The quartet glides effortlessly from swing to bebop…Jost’s boppish scatting bristles with the unmistakable energy of in-the-moment improvisation. Jost is an all-rounder; his gravely soul delivery can sound like a cross between singers Otis Redding and Pino Daniele, and he imbues singer John Sebastian’s ‘Daydream’ with the Delta blues.” The Quartet will perform numbers from their new album, "Simple Life," to be released in March, including "Blackbird," "If I Only Had a Brain," "With a Little Help from My Friends," and a song Paul wrote many years ago, "Livin' in the Wrong Time." Musicologist Raul da Gama has written of Paul, "...in his pristine articulation, Mr Jost dips into a colour palette that is not only most unusual, but also vast and encompassing of an impossibly wide register...he has been spoken of as a worthy successor, among male vocalists, to the legendary Mark Murphy." ...
