Alan Pasqua & Peter Erskine feat. by WDR BIG BAND | Full Concert

Pianist Alan Pasqua (who feels equally at home in jazz as in rock and pop music), with his delicate piano playing, is always on the lookout for the intermediate tones, for the essence of the tones. Pasqua and drummer Peter Erskine have met again and again over the years, playing primarily in intimate trio settings. For the large ensemble with the WDR BIG BAND, their compositions were arranged by Vince Mendoza. The chief composer also conducted this concert. Recorded live during the WDR 3 Jazzfest at Theater Gütersloh (February 2018).

01 - Each Breath [00:01:05]

I am a big band member in New Zealand. We all need to listen to this band for their sound. Nothing forced, everything is so musical. Saxes all sound great and the trombone section AMAZING. What about the drummer - so with the band, wonderful style. Inspiring -thanks you so much.Interesting thing there are Dutch musos in there -Lead trumpet, guitarist, & Peter Erskine (USA) to name a few with amazing German musos

WDR Big Band : playing Jazz with the precision of classical musicians and the freedom that Jazz requires. Always brilliant !;°) ... but hey ... Peter Erskine ?... this name reminds of the time i discovered an awkward fusion band specialized in meteorology ... aaah ! ... how time passes by ... these were the days ... ♥

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you, Cybio, - and this leads us to the assumption that time actually cannot exist...are we attentive, we can discover all the little wonders of this world, - are we not, - then...?

[@faruso1]

This one is so totally on par with the Fred Hersch session and it is beyond my comprehension, why this one has not been released as CD like Fred's has? Their release policy is really weird. Karolina blows my mind (once again) on Spring, Again

[@raylombardo4186]

Drums could use much more high end...cymbal time is buried. Drums do NOT sound this muted when heard live. To mix a concert to resemble a live sound, drum volume have to be somewhat representative. Just sayin'

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for your comment, Ray!
