“... the epitome of live improvisational jazz, played with both freedom of expression and pure joy.” –Jim Worsley, ALL ABOUT JAZZ
One of the most accomplished and respected drummers in modern jazz, Peter Erskine joined the legendary jazz fusion group Weather Report in 1978. He then joined Steps Ahead with Michael Brecker. Over his remarkably varied career he has worked with Chick Corea, Eliane Elias, Diana Krall, George Cables, John Abercrombie, Kenny Wheeler, Don Grolnick, Joni Mitchell, Eddie Daniels, and many many others.
Saxophonist George Garzone is recognized as one of jazz’s great tenor players. According to Michael Brecker, “I’m not the master of the saxophone– George Garzone is”. In addition to his performance career, he has mentored and taught saxophone stars Joshua Redman, Branford Marsalis, and many others.
In addition to acoustic jazz piano, Alan Pasqua demonstrated his keyboard mastery in the mid-70s, working with guitar legend Allan Holdsworth in the New Tony Williams Lifetime. He has recorded with Erskine on many releases.
Darek Oles, originally from Poland, has become one of the most sought-after bassists on the West Coast, working with Charles Lloyd, Bennie Maupin, Brad Mehldau and a host of others.
