• Dan Tepfer: Yamaha Disklavier piano, melodica, computer, vox.

Piano and AI/AV accompaniment? That sounded way cool to me, so I added this to my list of summer session shows right away. Apparently the combo was not attractive enough to get an auditorium full of other folks, and a few weeks ago, SFJAZZ refunded my purchase with a comment that the show was now free for all members. Right then. Hopefully that offer will pull in more listeners. I'll find out in about an hour or so….

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
