Anyone listening to this guy? His cd "Invisible" is KILLING! Do yourself a favor and at the very least buy the track "Ornette's Advice" from itunes.

i'm fairly certain he teaches in Reno, Nevada. I'd like a lesson with this guy!

just a friendly nudge. Seriously. give him a listen.

I've got "the Loan" by Brad Shepik and the Commuters. Mr. Epstein plays on it and has some very memorable solos.

yeah! he's insane, teaches at UNR (University of Nevada Reno) I've seen him play live a number of times...he builds intensity in a solo like no one else. If you can, check out the song...Womans Dance...though i cant remember what CD its on, its with the faculty group from UNR called The Collective (actually, that might be the name of the group...?)

I have seen him play here locally a few times. He is an insane player as well as an approachable and humble guy. He would love to know that he is being talked about on SOTW!

Does anyone know if he's related to saxman Ed Epstein who is active (living?) in Copenhagen?

 

[trinitron]

I need to buy his other recordings, i've only got invisible, and the melody to Ornette's Advice is just about Perfect.

He is one of my favorite saxophonists and I have nearly all his albums. He has such a great sense of tone and his solos are memorable to say the least!

He's great! Check out the guitarist Pete McCann's album "You Remind Me of Someone," Peter kills it. Beautiful sound, great ideas.

Love Peter Epstein! The trio records with Brad Shepik are some of my favorite rrecent recordings. If you want to hear something really freaky, track down some of the CalArts CD's from the early 90's when he was a student there. The tracks with him are rediculous, and his playing was much more "chops oriented" back then.... maybe not as musically mature, but it sure is fun to hear him burn!

Peter is a great player and a nice guy! He teaches at the University of Nevada and taught an old friend of mine (a great saxophonist in his own right, Eric Arellano).
