Dan Tepfer is a Paris-born, New York-based jazz pianist and composer known for his innovative approach to music that blends classical structures with improvisational jazz. A frequent collaborator with jazz legends like saxophonist Lee Konitz, Tepfer has gained critical acclaim for his ability to merge deep musical intellect with a creative, exploratory spirit. One of his most notable projects is Goldberg Variations / Variations, where he performs each of Bach's Goldberg Variations followed by his own improvised response, showcasing not only his technical command but also his imaginative interpretive voice.
Tepfer is also known for integrating technology into his music in groundbreaking ways. In his album Natural Machines, he programmed a computer to respond to his improvisations in real time with visualizations and algorithmic counterpoint, creating a dynamic and interactive performance experience. With a background in astrophysics and classical training, Tepfer continues to blur genre lines, pushing the boundaries of what solo piano performance can achieve.
