ABOUT PAUL TOBEY
==================================================
Paul Tobey, a multi-award-winning jazz pianist, has led a remarkable career filled with both artistic triumphs and unforeseen challenges.
By the year 2001, Paul had already released eight albums, becoming the sole Canadian jazz artist signed to New York’s esteemed Arkadia Jazz label. However, fate dealt him a devastating blow when the Musicians Clinics of Canada diagnosed him with severe tendonitis in both forearms, a diagnosis that threatened to end his career and delivered a crushing emotional blow. Shortly thereafter, he faced another daunting obstacle: severe Tinnitus.
With a young family in tow, Paul embarked on a journey of reinvention. Seeking solace and grounding with the knowledge his performing career was over, he walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain and composed his final body of work – or so he thought.
Within just two years, he attained new accreditations as a Professional Certified Trainer and established himself as an Award-Winning Digital Marketer. He co-founded Canada’s first training company to offer digital marketing training, serving thousands of companies across North America and helping them generate tens of millions in new sales.
Fast forward 18 years, when the pandemic brought many businesses to a standstill, Paul’s son Adrian offered sage advice: “It’s time, Dad.” Heeding his son’s counsel to return to his life’s passion, Paul tested the limits of his arms at the piano. Had time healed his arms?
While concurrently building a new YouTube channel branded “Jazzmentl,” which now serves over 9000 jazz musicians worldwide, Paul began to practice and pace himself for a rebirth of his music career. His first test arrived with an invitation to perform a sold-out comeback concert at the Niagara Jazz Festival in January 2023.
Paul Tobey’s return to the jazz scene at the age of 61 serves as a powerful reminder that it’s never too late for renewal and second chances. His remarkable journey continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.

Hey JazzMentlists!! I've decided to do something completely different this week! In fact, I have not seen any other video like this on YouTube! I hear it a lot, "I just want to jump inside your head to figure out how you do this". So, this week, I'm letting you inside my head haha – and I'm analyzing my own playing and telling you exactly how my brain works, and how I think when I'm building up a jazz standard from start to finish. You'll see I have an analytical mind, and I have to get out of the way to be musical. Watch this to the very end, and let me know if this type of self-analysis is helpful to you. Your comments and thumbs up help this channel. Thanks again for your continued support and feedback! 😁
Love you much 😂😂
Great teacher always 😅😅😅
Wow! Reminded me of Bill Evens. I found this very helpful. Sometimes it's good for me to just stop and listen like this, I probably don't do it enough. Thank you.
Good afternoon, Paul! I started watching your videos lately. I love them! And your amazing story made me cry. I have a pain in my right hand(arm) but still play somehow. Just turned 61 as well…thank you for what you do and take care of yourself!
Beautiful solo Pul. Thank you for this leson ❤
Great, one of the best tutorials I've ever heard! This is really teaching! Thank you!!!!!
Do more like this! This is very helpful. Would also like a video to understand the left hand voicings you are using — it's hard to see / hear what you're doing without chordie.
Absolutely beautiful. Just love your style and phrasing. Such passion and nuances in your solos.
