Brian Gephart
Jazz Saxophonist
 |
"Gephart,
a tenor saxist with an enjoyably full sound..." - Lloyd Sachs of the Chicago Sun-Times |
"Among
the city's young tenorists, Gephart has developed one of the
more personal sounds. A bluntly assertive soloist, he builds
on the styles of Joe Henderson and Sonny Rollins in staying
close to the ground, harmonically, and Von Freeman in his everpresent
threat to torch mainstream convention." - Lloyd Sachs of the Chicago Sun-Times |
|
"...Brian
Gephart's throaty tenor and pliant soprano pilot the band around
that idiom's easy edges." - Neil Tesser of the Chicago Reader |
|
"Like
so many modern saxophonists, Gephart has adopted the bright
hard sound of Michael Brecker, and he can play with all the
glibness of better-known colleagues. But Gephart often digs
beneath that veneer..." - Neil Tesser of the Chicago Reader |
|
"The
well-disciplined howls of Gephart, for instance, carry the unmistakable
stamp of jazz-rock-fusion sax pioneer Michael Brecker"
- Jon Janowiak of ChicagoGigs.com |
