For those unaware, The Litteral Truth is a vibrant fusion of jazz, funk, and rock that showcases Paul Litteral’s one-of-a-kind sound and vision.

This record is more than just a collection of songs. It’s a bold reimagining of classic covers, featuring new arrangements straight from the mind of Paul Litteral — a trumpet player known for his soulful tone, inventive phrasing, and genre-blending creativity.

You’ll hear fresh takes on tracks by Steely Dan, Edgar Winter, and a few surprises from lesser-known artists who deserve the spotlight. All delivered with Paul’s signature jazz soloing style and backed by a powerhouse band of musicians.

On what is a funky, smart, and full of attitude jazz album, Paul opens this delightful musical experience on the beautifully smooth Home At Last and the spirited Give It Everything You’ve Got and then we get the summer breeze of Black Cow, an extremely intriguing rendition of The Specials’ Ghostown and a resplendent Do It Again.

Along next is the upbeat and propellant New York, By Dreams and that is backed by the soulful funk of Use Me, the all-embracing Dying To Live, the set rounding out on a simply brilliant cover of Jamiroquai’s Virtual Insanity, closing on the stillness of the elegant Follow Me.
