Fire Bell is a collaborative modern jazz trio from the Minneapolis/Saint Paul scene featuring guitarist Park Evans, bassist Graydon Peterson, and veteran drummer Jay Epstein. Originally from Ithaca, New York, Evans studied classical guitar and composition at St. Olaf College, developing an eclectic style that fuses jazz traditions with rock, reggae, and avant-garde influences. Peterson, an in-demand "first-call" session bassist and University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire composition graduate, brings a sharp harmonic foundation to the group alongside his unique background as a 4th-degree Kung Fu black belt. International touring drum veteran Epstein, who honed his craft in Manhattan under Chick Corea's former drummer Barry Altschul, grounds the trio with decades of elite performance experience alongside jazz legends like Sarah Vaughan. Together, they channel their individual projects—including Red Planet, ThoughtCast, and the Park Evans Quintet—into a singular, highly interactive, and emotive sound showcased on albums like Incendios.
