Search - Dan Tepfer Trio :: Five Pedals Deep

The originals on the record document Tepfer's search for a musical language that is uncompromisingly intricate, yet speaks directly to the listener at an intuitive level. The band uses textures that are truly groundbreaking in jazz, but it is the integrity of the melodies, their singable quality, that guides the ear. Framing the record are the haunting Jacques Brel song "Le Plat Pays" and the standard "Body and Soul", which Tepfer plays solo, with a dose of irreverence that he may have inherited from his mentor and collaborator, Lee Konitz.
