Frank Macchia: Saxolollapalooza
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Way in the background on some classic big band recordings, there is a high-pitched aural glow, a sustained, ethereal, almost liturgical hum coming from somewhere in the reeds section. Duke Ellington's “There Shall Be No Night," from the great Blanton/Webster Band box set (Bluebird, 1990), has it. Partly it's the recording technology of the time, sufficiently ...
E_L_B (Peter Erskine_Nguyen Le_Michel Benita): Dream Flight
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il trio E_L_B si ripresenta dopo l’ottimo esordio del 2000 (sempre per l’etichetta tedesca ACT) e aggiunge un altro colore alla sua tavolozza con l’ingresso, in qualità di ospite, del saxofonista francese Stephane Guillaume.

Peter Erskine Tim Hagans & The Norrbotten Big Band: Worth The Wait
by Michael P. Gladstone
The title of this album, Worth The Wait, is a specific reference for these two old pals, drummer Peter Erskine and trumpeter Tim Hagans, to join in one recording session with the Norrbotten Big Band. The origin of the title dates back to a 1974 musical meeting when Erskine was the drummer for the Stan Kenton ...
Peter Erskine: Worth The Wait & Standards
by Budd Kopman
Drummer Peter Erskine broke into the music business in 1972 with the Stan Kenton Orchestra and has not stopped for breath since. He recorded five albums in his first four years, starting in 1978 with Weather Report, and both led and played on a large number of albums for the ECM label. As one can see ...
Peter Erskine / Tim Hagans / The Norrbotten Big Band: Worth the Wait
by Woodrow Wilkins
To say that Peter Erskine is the greatest drummer ever to play jazz would be a stretch. Max Roach, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich are among those who would have to be considered for that honor. However, over the past 30 years or so, Erskine certainly has established himself as part of an elite class that ...
Alan Pasqua / Dave Carpenter / Peter Erskine: Standards
by Edward Blanco
Representing the other half of a two-release project from drummer Peter Erskine's Fuzzy Music label that also includes Worth The Wait (2008), with trumpeter Tim Hagans and the Norrbotten Big Band, Standards is exactly what the title implies--a session of old standards with a couple of new acquaintances thrown in for good measure. In an attempt ...
Peter Erskine / Tim Hagans / The Norrbotten Big Band: Worth the Wait
by Edward Blanco
Peter Erskine and Tim Hagans shared the stage in the early 1970s as members of the Stan Kenton Orchestra, which provided a nurturing atmosphere for two young musicians and a beginning to their musical careers. After decades in divergent paths, this recording reunites the drummer and the trumpeter in another big band setting that's, well, Worth ...
