  • Description

    Rich Perry's album 'Nocturne' marks the twenty-first release in his twenty-one year tenure with SteepleChase and for the first time Rich employs guitar (by Nat Radley) instead of piano for his quartet. They perform a selection of eight jazz standards from composers such as Charlie Parker, Kenny Dorham, Cole Porter and others.

    Rich Perry is arguably one of the best-kept-secret of today's modern jazz scene in spite of all the talks of admiration by the critics and the fellow musicians such as tenor player David Valdez. To quote Valdez from his blog, "Rich never plays down to the audience, never compromising his advanced harmonic and rhythmic concepts in favour of wide accessibility...Even though he stays on the cutting edge Rich's sound is always musical and melodic."



    Personnel: Rich Perry (tenor saxophone), Nate Radley (guitar), John Hebert (bass), Jeff Hirshfield (drums)
