Endless Planets is the final album by late Los Angeles-based pianist/composer Austin Peralta, son of skateboard pioneer Stacy Peralta and filmmaker Joni Caldwell. Upon original release, it was the label Brainfeeder's first foray into jazz. Peralta drew critical attention for his 2006 Sony debut, Maiden Voyage, a standards set recorded when he was 15 with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Billy Kilson. Less than a year later, he released Mantra, offering originals and standards with a quintet that included bassist Buster Williams and saxophonist Marcus Strickland. Nothing could have prepared most listeners for Endless Planets, an ambitious, self-composed suite that combines post-bop, Latin, modal, and vanguard jazz with subtle electronica. All but one tune was recorded in a single day, in California, while "Epilogue: Renaissance Bubbles" was cut in Brooklyn, New York. Peralta's sextet includes saxophonists Zane Musa (alto) and Ben Wendel (tenor), drummer Zach Harmon, bassist Hamilton Price, and electronicist Strangeloop. Peralta co-produced with Paul Pesco.
