Introducing Paul Gillespie Music Editions
I’m excited to introduce Paul Gillespie Music Editions, a music publishing company that will market, distribute, and sell my concert music.

The official launch date of this venture is April 2016. Please stay tuned!

Photo Shoot Session With Kathie Statler Photography
I have needed current and professional headshots for some time, and fortunately had the recent benefit of working with Kathie Statler Photography to get the ball rolling in this area! Kathie is a creative, fun-spirited photographer with a particular set of skills for eliciting genuine portraits out of people. The main focus of this session was engagement photos with my beautiful bride Kristin, but we had the opportunity to capture some headshots with my saxophone. Kathie also captured a picture of a raucous bullfrog. The photo shoot location was Carillon Point in Kirkland, WA.
