About
On his 25th release on SteepleChase saxophonist Rich Perry takes on the role of composer as well, for all the titles presented here. Although Rich readily confides that composing is not one of his favourite activities, you will realise once listening to this album that it reveals Perry's deep creative reservoir.
"Probably Perry's most passionate fans are other tenor saxophone players. Those who have spent their lives studying the instrument understand that the purity of Perry's minimalism is a rare quality to which they themselves aspire...Perry's solo is a rapt, intimate flowing. He does not sound like he is inventing but like he is reliving deep private memories." - Tom Conrad, NYC Jazz Records on 'Nocturne' (SCCD31176)
Personnel: Rich Perry (tenor saxophone), Gary Versace (piano), Jay Anderson (bass), John Riley (drums)

February 2020
Perry’s style is rooted in the modal probing, bursts of energy and false-fingering of classic quartet-era John Coltrane. Here, he showcases his clean phrasing with an in-style quartet driven by John Riley’s light touch polyrhythms and Jay Anderson’s solid double-bass.
