Saxophonist Peter Epstein's band, Idée Fixe, has been an act of love (and obsession) since 1997. Along with guitarist Andy Barbera, Sam Minaie on bass, and Matt Mayhall on drums, the group is joined on their debut recording by saxophonist Gavin Templeton & Brian Walsh on bass clarinet, as they create fully realized, spontaneously-composed music with neither discussion or forethought, guiding listeners to some rarely visited, but truly inspired and beautiful places. •"...Epstein is making some pretty amazing statements rooted in world music and the avant-garde, but stretching even those parameters to create a contemporary modern sound all his own." - All Music Guide
