A native of the Bronx in New York City, Nash belonged to rock bands in his teens.[1][2] He turned to jazz after attending a festival in 1968 which featured Sunny Murray and Archie Shepp.[3] He received degrees from Berklee College of Music in Boston and Mills College in San Francisco.[1][2] He started the Paul Nash Ensemble with Eddie Marshall and Mark Isham.[1] Revelation released the band's first album, A Jazz Composer's Ensemble, in 1979.[1] During the 1980s he started the Bay Area Jazz Composers Orchestra and in 1990 the Manhattan New Music Project.[1] He died from a brain tumor in 2005.[1][2]
