Editorial Reviews

Peter Erskine is recognized throughout the world as one of the most creative and expressive drummers playing in any style of music. His credits range from his early days with Stan Kenton to music as diverse as that of Weather Report, Chick Corea, Joni Mitchell, Michael Brecker and Steely Dan. He is also a composer of music for his bands, plus theatre, dance and film projects. In addition, he has released twelve albums under his own name, as well as several instructional videos and books. Peter has also been recognized with many awards, including being named Top Mainstream Jazz Drummer (six times) in the Modern Drummer magazine reader's poll.

Live at JazzBaltica features the Peter Erskine Trio with pianist John Taylor and bassist Palle Danielsson. Recorded in 1993 in Salzau Germany, this program captures a brilliant group on an especially inspired night. In Peter’s words: “...one of the all-time special performances of my trio...I'm still knocked out by how good it is.” Featuring over an hour of lyrical, swinging, inspired music, Live at JazzBaltica is a truly important document of a night of great music.

This review is from: Peter Erskine Trio: Live at Jazz Baltica [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Peter Erskine and his congenial Partners (inter pares) John Taylor (piano) and Palle Daniellson (bass) present a live video from the Jazzfestival Baltica in Germany. The intensity of their interaction and the beauty of their composition are hard to find in any other contemporary piano trio at the moment. John Taylor is probably the most understated pianist of modern times. His playing is full of wit and his melodic spirit touches the listener not only in the very beautiflu ballads on this outstanding document of great modern European Jazz.
