Biography

Dan Tepfer grew up in Paris, France in a musical and scientific family. He received a bachelor's degree in astrophysics from the University of Edinburgh and a master's degree in jazz piano performance from the New England Conservatory in Boston.[1] He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he works as a pianist and composer.[2] He tours around the world, with frequent appearances in Europe in particular.[3] Since 2009, he has released a series of critically acclaimed [4] recordings on Sunnyside Records and Verve Records, working in trio, duo and solo formats.

One of his most frequent musical collaborations are duos with saxaphonists, including the legendary Lee Konitz, Grammy winner Miguel Zenon, Ben Wendel, and others. Tepfer's Natural Machines project, which combines video and audio technology with improvised piano playing,[5] will debut at NY's Carnegie Hall in 2025[6] with an update that allows him to “play” an entire orchestra in real time. He has become a fixture in the NY live Jazz scene, at Jazz clubs and house concerts. [7]
