SUMMARY:PETER ERSKINE & BOB MINTZER
DESCRIPTION:Speaking about the musical marriage of drummer Peter Erskine\, pianist Alan Pasqua and bassist Darek Oles\, journalist Jim Worsley from All About Jazz said\, “The trio could be considered the perfect melting pot of creativity\, complexity\, and rhythm\, pollinated with spontaneous interplay and intelligent conversation.”  That’s quite a summary of these top-tier jazzmen who\, after playing together for decades\, find themselves at the top of their game. Their Live In Italy recording\, which garnered a Grammy nomination in 2022\, is evidence of their primacy. \nWhat makes the meeting of minds extra special now is the addition of saxophonist Bob Mintzer\, acclaimed composer\, arranger\, and founding member of the Yellowjackets. A long-time associate to all\, Mintzer elevates the group’s collective mastery in a new project\, The McIntosh Sessions\, a direct-to-tape recording representing the partnership between hi-end audio giants McIntosh Laboratory and Sterling Sound. At the heart of this captured performance is a vibrant intimacy that speaks volumes about the singular power of jazz and pure\, reproduced sound. \nErskine and company revealed this immediacy in the studio. But\, in fact\, they bring it to the stage each time they play.
