"I have known Goldberg for many years, and have been a fan of his marvelous drumming. I happened to be sitting next to Les McCann, who really seemed to be enjoying the band. Goldberg had a first rate quartet, and he kicked the band with his powerful drumming, and kept a strong rhythmic groove throughout. The crowd loved it! I enjoyed the groups' energy, spirit, & musicianship. They did a great job covering many different styles, and doing them all well. I really enjoyed their outstanding performance."  (Excerpt from a Bob Comden article in "The LA Jazz Scene")
   
"Paul's impressive performance and recording credits are not only what make him a perfect fit for this column. In addition to his successes as a sideman, and as a top LA studio musician, Paul is currently forging new ground as a producer, and bandleader." (Excerpt from a Modern Drummer Magazine article entitled "On the Move")
