Paul Winter (born August 31, 1939)[1] is an American saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. He is a pioneer of world music and earth music, which interweaves the voices of the wild with instrumental voices from classical, jazz and world music.[2] The music is often improvised and recorded in nature to reflect the qualities brought into play by the environment.
