Peter Erskine

Part One

Part Two

It was thanks to a brass player that I got the gig with Weather Report.

Percussion maestro Peter Erskine launches our fall season as bone2pick's artist of the month for September. The czar of the drum throne, Peter Erskine has toured and recorded with everyone from Steely Dan to Stan Kenton to Weather Report to the Berlin Philharmonic. Peter shares his candid and caring thoughts on developing the ability to straddle various musical styles, evoking the emotional aspect of your playing, the difference between New York and Los Angeles brass players, how to drive the big band bus and performing with show biz savvy. A must see for all musicians!
