Paul Winter’s musical realm has long embraced the traditions of the world’s cultures, as well as the extraordinary voices of what he refers to as the greater symphony of the Earth. His landmark album Common Ground in 1977 was his first endeavor to incorporate the voices of whale, eagle and wolf into his music. The Consort recorded twelve albums for major labels during the 1960s and ’70s. Four albums for A & M were produced by Paul Stookey and Phil Ramon, and one for Epic, named Icarus, produced by Beatles mentor George Martin, who claimed in his autobiography it was the finest record I ever made.

Paul Winter attended Altoona Area High School and graduated in 1957. In 1961, while he was in college at Northwestern University, the band that he founded, the Paul Winter Sextet won the Intercollegiate Jazz Festival and was signed by Columbia Records. The next year, the band toured Latin America as cultural ambassadors for the United States State Department, playing 160 concerts in 23 countries. The Sextet was also the first jazz band to perform at the White House. In 1978 Winter released "Common Ground" an album that combined his music and animal sounds (Wolves, Eagles, Whales) and ushered in what became known as "New Age" music.
