Bio:
A prolific composer, Paul Knopf draws from diverse movements in classical music and jazz. After serving in World War II, he undertook classical studies in composition with Bohuslav Martinu and Josef Schmid, a pupil of Alben Berf, and earned a bachelor's degree for studies at the Juilliard School and New York University.
Beginning from his roots in the bebop era and the jazz revival surrounding the beatnik scene in the '50s, he expanded his interests into Latin American, ragtime, New Orleans, swing, and blues styles. In addition to his performance experience in jazz clubs and concert situations, he has accompanied dance ensembles, led a music ministry at Greenhaven State Prison, and given workshops for church musicians.
An innovator in Christian jazz worship since the early '60s, whose original compositions and piano improvisations are featured regularly at New York area churches (including Saint Peter's Church and The Church of the Village), Paul continues to connect his creative vision with his commitment to social justice.
Recent recording projects "Cabaret With Cabernet" and "Collage", feature his chamber music and jazz compositions, respectively.

THE SONG IS ENDED: A Tale of the Jazz Age
by Malcolm Cooke
The Flapper--Elizabeth Miller
Composer & Pianist--Paul Knopf
The Roaring 20s...the Jazz Age. It's an endless party and on Long Island's Gold Coast one man of mystery throws the best. Suddenly everything comes to a end when he's found floating face down shot dead in his swimming pool. Years later, a Flapper remembers.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011
This month will feature a play reading of WET, or ISABELLA THE PIRATE QUEEN ENTERS THE HORSE LATITUDES written by Liz Duffy Adams and produced by the Flux Theatre Ensemble.
About the Play
Four survivors of a storm-sunken pirate ship — the legendary Isabella, Neptune’s bastard daughter; pirates Jenny (a runaway whore) and Sally (an electrified girl); and the Viscountess Marlene, a drag queen — seize a half-wrecked ship manned only by Captain Joppa and two sailors, young Jack and ex-slave Horatio. Joppa is determined to get back to the war. Isabella has other plans. Amidst time lurches, shifting loyalties, story-telling and sudden violence, hearts lost and secrets revealed, the seven souls find themselves without wind or current on a slowly sinking ship—until an unexpected event offers either hope or doom.
