Biography by Scott Yanow.
A fine pianist, Paul Moer never gained a big name for
himself and has long ago slipped into obscurity. Moer
graduated from the University of Miami in 1951. He
played with many West Coast musicians during the 1950's
including Benny Carter, Vido Musso, Zoot Sims, Stan
Getz, Bill Holman and Shorty Rogers. Moer worked in the
studios (both as a pianist and as an arranger), toured
Australia with Benny Carter in 1960, appeared on a few
titles with Charles Mingus, recorded with Jack Montrose
and John Graas, and cut a trio album in the late 1950's
for Del Fi with bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Frank
Butler. He worked with Paul Horn (1960-63), Ruth Price
and Buddy DeFranco but then little was heard of the
pianist until he made a trio set for Fresh Sound in the
1990's of Elmo Hope tunes.
