Catskill Jazz Factory Presents

“Melodic precision, harmonic erudition, and elegant restraint”
– The New York Times on Aaron Diehl

“Brilliant... A sharp young talent”
 – The New York Times on Dan Tepfer

An unprecedented mash-up of J.S. Bach and the Great American Songbook from Cole Porter Fellows Dan Tepfer and Aaron Diehl. This one-of-a-kind collaboration will explore the unlikely common ground between two leading talents from opposite ends of the jazz spectrum. Diehl is an aficionado of the early tradition of jazz piano, while Tepfer is inspired by avant-garde, cutting-edge jazz. Tradition will meet contemporary and jazz will meet classics in this night of Double Trouble.

The New York Times on Dan Tepfer: "As a pianist, he combines superb technique with a complex set of impulses: he’s a deeply rational improviser drawn to the unknown.” (On Tepfer's performance at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola on September 9, 2015.) 

Aaron Diehl as described by Benny Golson: "When I think about Aaron, I think about surprises... He's not dealing with musical arithmetic, he's dealing with feelings and emotions, things that will move people emotionally, mentally and physically, make the head bob and the foot pat." –Wall Street Journal
