Bio / Background
Jake Schepps takes stringband music on another adventure with the release of Ten Thousand Leaves. With engaging, dynamic material that reflects the Colorado aesthetic of roots music, the album focuses on creative composition, melodic ideas and tasteful solos. Produced by Nashville’s Matt Flinner, the album remains true to the artistic values of stringband, yet draws on certain jazz sensibilities, such as improvisation and more extended harmonies.
This all-instrumental album includes original compositions by Schepps, with additions from Matt Flinner, Greg Schochet, and Eric Thorin. The material includes an Astor Piazzolla tango arranged for stringband, and a brand new Flinner tune composed specifically for this project. The centerpiece is a through-composed suite inspired by Richard Avedon’s series of portraits titled, “In the American West.” As Sing Out Magazine states, Schepps plays “nothing less than excellent music, in both form and function.
