For years Paul "Sequence" Ferguson has been called "The Black Yanni" by concert goers and album purchasers all over the world. Paul always took this as a compliment but, he was never trying to be any one other than "Sequence". With a career spanning almost 3 decades Paul has always thought out side of the box. His extensive catalog has an spans an array of genres from the smoothest jazz to the most aggressive rock & hip hop. In early May 2010 Paul had returned from his hiatus after completing work on the Skee-Lo - Overdose EP & was in the middle of producing an album for his son (SEQUENCE II). On the morning of May 11th 2010, I got an email from Paul. The subject said ":Check This Out I was bored". As always i opened the email, downloaded the file and sure enough the demo of this Yanni style masterpiece was sitting there! It was almost exactly what we have for sale here now. So, I called Paul and said "bro what is this we have to release this, it sounds like Yanni... where did this come from?" His response was simple, "well its been a couple years and i been working on everyone else's stuff... i just got bored and thought i would just try making something..." I interrupted and said, "this totally sounds like Yanni ! " He quickly responded with "Now don't even start, I use to get that all the time..." Then went on to show me some magazine and article clips where it was written. Right there in front of my face said in bold print "Paul "SEQUENCE" Ferguson ... The Black Yanni" Paul and i agreed to release the song titled "Without Even Trying" to hold the fans over until his new album "Songs from Between the Teeth" is completed. But - "The Black Yanni" part... that was a funny surprise from the label. ( Surprise Paul! ) So, to all you Yanni lovers out there, we too love and respect Yanni and in no way are we trying to steal his thunder. But, if you are a Yanni Fan and stumbled upon this ... i hope you love what you hear.
