EPISODE 2 : PAUL PIEPER, GUITAR
Check out the video of the episode HERE.
Paul Pieper first caught the attention of the music community in 1995 when he captured second place from over 200 competitors at the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition, a global event whose judges included Jim Hall, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, and Pat Martino.
In this episode, we play a tune of mine written with Paul in mind called "January Beginning," as well as Paul's fun and rhythmic "Manabí." The final tune is an older piece I wrote in 2004 called "Waltz for Someone."
In conversation, Paul recalls how growing up in Washington DC shaped his musical life, and what is was like winning second place at the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition in 1995. We also talk about the great tradition of jazz in Washington DC, as well as his unique school The Jazz Workshop.
