Paul Winston Weeden (born 7 January 1923 in Indianapolis – 2 July 2011 in Oslo)[1] was an American-Norwegian jazz guitarist and bandleader.
He led the Paul Weeden Trio with organist Don Patterson and drummer Billy James, and they released an album with Dexter Gordon and Sonny Stitt (Blue Note Records, 1962).
[4] Weeden was central to the people surrounding the Club 7 venue, where he led the band Youngbloods as well as his own quartet (including drummer Ole Jacob Hansen, guitarist Bill Mulholland, and bassist Ray Taylor).
[5] In the 1990s he performed his own October for recording, including Vidar Johansen, Odd Riisnæs, Roy Nikolaisen, Eivin Sannes, Rune Nicolaysen, Kristen Svendsen, and Ole Jacob Hansen.
The documentary Too Young To Be Old by Lene Midling-Jenssen (NRK, 2003) shows Weedens collaboration with "Grønnes Bad&Jazzforsyning" from Flekkefjord.
