About Evan Zeppo Price
Price’s official biography traces violin and fiddle work through the Cleveland Institute of Music and Berklee College of Music and documents faculty roles at Wellesley College, the California Jazz Conservatory, and UC Berkeley. It identifies San Rafael as his Bay Area home.[1]
The biography separates Price’s ten years with Turtle Island Quartet from his membership in Hot Club of San Francisco, which began in 1998. It also documents composition and arranging for Bay Area chamber ensembles, choruses, and orchestras rather than treating those commissions as one performing group.[1]
In 2016 Price premiered his Concerto for Jazz Violin and Orchestra with San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, followed by the 2017 solo album Dialogues. His first-party media page includes audio from that album, original chamber pieces, and videos of both jazz and orchestral work.[1][2]
