Peter Erskine Review by Scott Yanow

Drummer Peter Erskine's debut as a leader (originally made for Contemporary and reissued on CD in the OJC series) finds him using top players (most of whom had played with Steps Ahead) in various combinations. Erskine performs a few of his own originals (including an 11-minute "All's Well That Ends" and a short drum solo) plus "My Ship," Wayne Shorter's "E.S.P.," and Bob Mintzer's "Change of Mind." With such musicians as trumpeter Randy Brecker, tenors Michael Brecker and Mintzer, pianist Kenny Kirkland, and vibraphonist Mike Mainieri getting some solo space, this post-bop music (from an often-overlooked set) is of consistent high quality.

In the less out, straighter-ahead styles of #jazz, #games are present mainly as a #musicEducation tool.

Here is a #drums legend #PeterErskine presenting the #CompingGame:

The idea is to impose some quite strict limitations for the #improvised fills to be played together with a standard #swing pattern.

Marc Johnson - Bass Desires

Johnson, on acoustic bass, brings together Bill Frisell and John Scofield on guitar, adds in Peter Erskine on drums, and you end up with one hell of a combo.

Melodic, funky, fun - and a great recording.
