Album Description: Paulson’s Isle of Vibe is very jazzy and the level of musicianship outshines [other] recordings. The pieces are well-crafted, moving smoothly from one section to the next and not just some odd riff for three minutes. I can’t help but think I hear the occasional Metheny or Weather Report reference.

After adroitly moving through some carribean and african music influenced pieces, Brian easily moves into arabic and some specifically egyptian motifs. At the end there are some very humorous and extremely fun light-hearted pieces getting extremely funky. The final piece is nearly 15 minutes of native American flute with traditional percussion accompaniment to chill the vibes to a meditative state. - Darv Krizton, Visionary Sound Arts Radio D.J., Kihei, Hawaii (continued below)

(continued from above) ... What impresses me about this album in particular, besides the aforementioned extremely positive and joyous atmosphere it produces for the listener, is Brian’s real-time playing of guitar, piano and wind instruments. This is obviously real talent that has also received some training, so the performances are confident, deft and well-placed. The composition are for the most part a real gas to listen to. The less impressive are more whimsical and entertaining for that reason. This is definitely one of those albums I’m taking with me on vacation. - Darv Krizton, Visionary Sound Arts Radio D.J., Kihei, Hawaii
