The music of the band Inscape is heavily influenced by John Coltrane’s style of modal jazz, developed in the early to mid-1960s. The band and their identity evolved as a result of collaboration between pianist Greg Murphy, bassist Joris Teepe, (former members of the legendary Rashied Ali Quintet), tenor saxophonist Mark Shim (known for his work with Betty Carter, Terrence Blanchard & Vijay Iyer), and drummer Alvester Garnett (known for his association with Regina Carter & Clark Terry).
Greg Murphy – From Chicago roots to New York jazz royalty, Greg Murphy has carved a path through the world of music, bridging generations with innovation and fearless creativity. A longtime collaborator with Coltrane drummer Rashied Ali, Greg has shared stages with everyone from Ornette Coleman to Carlos Santana. His piano work spans continents and styles, earning him two #1 JazzWeek albums—Bright Idea (2019) and Snap Happy (2025)—plus an Oscar-nominated soundtrack credit. With grooves that stretch from classic to cutting-edge, Greg remains a vital voice in modern jazz. http://gregmurphyjazz.com

He has collaborated with artists such as Joey Berkley, Ron Jackson, Darrell Grant, Antonio Ciacca, Mathilde Santing, Deborah Brown, and Fay Claassen. He was a long-time member of the Rashied Ali Band. Joris is also an active academic educator: He is head of the jazz department at the Prins Claus Conservatory in Groningen and a faculty member at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
Mark Shim – an outstanding jazz tenor saxophonist. Over the course of his 20-year career, he has recorded three albums for the prestigious Blue Note label, including the critically acclaimed Turbulent Flow.
