Dan Tepfer - Eleven Cages (2017) [24bit Hi-Res] FLAC

Artist: Dan Tepfer | Album: Eleven Cages | Released: 2017 | Genre: Jazz

Dan Tepfer is a Brooklyn-based pianist known for his classically influenced, harmonically nuanced approach to acoustic post-bop jazz. Born to American parents in Paris in 1982, Tepfer grew up in a creative family with a mother who was an opera singer and a grandfather who played jazz piano. Interested in music from a young age, Tepfer began taking piano lessons at age six, studying at the Paris Conservatoire-Paul Dukas. Although a serious musician by his teens, he first earned a Bachelor's degree in astrophysics from Scotland's University of Edinburgh before focusing on music. In 2005, he graduated with a Master's degree from Boston's New England Conservatory where he studied under pianist Danilo Perez. Afterward, he relocated to New York where he quickly found work with such luminaries as Steve Lacy, Paul Motian, Bob Brookmeyer, Joe Lovano, Ralph Towner, Billy Hart, Mark Turner, and others. He also formed a lasting partnership with saxophonist Lee Konitz, with whom he toured and recorded. Highly regarded, Tepfer won first prize at both the 2006 Montreux Jazz Fest solo piano competition and 2006 East Coast Jazz Fest competition. He was also named JazzTimes Best New Artist in 2010 and DownBeat's Rising Star in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Tepfer has traveled the globe as a U.S. State Department Cultural Envoy, visiting such locals as Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the Czech Republic. As a solo performer, he made his debut in 2005 with the trio effort Before the Storm. He followed up with several more well-received efforts, including 2007's Oxygen, 2009's Twelve Free Improvisations in Twelve Keys, and 2010's Five Pedals Deep. A year later, he explored his classical side with Bach: Goldberg Variations and appeared on drummer Billy Hart's Sixty-Eight. The pianist then paired with saxophonist Ben Wendel for 2013's Small Constructions, followed a year later by the concert album First Meeting: Live in London, Vol. 1, featuring Konitz. In 2017, Tepfer delivered the trio recording Eleven Cages.
