Join us for one of the most accomplished trios in jazz: Peter Erskine/Alan Pasqua/Darek Oles (drums/piano/bass). The concert will be livestreamed for the Athenaeum audience from Erskine’s home studio in Santa Monica, California. DownBeat wrote: “The group chemistry was equal parts sensitivity and combustibility, a balance of wide-open looseness and masterful precision. It all hinges on the group’s penchant to swing relentlessly while exploring a vast realm of expressive possibilities informed by each player’s considerable depth of experience. Erskine is a consistently refreshing catalyst for this most fortunate meeting of monsters; Oles is pitch-perfect and rock-steady throughout; and Pasqua’s less-is-more approach to the keys provides contemporary harmonic and melodic context while leaving adequate space for magic to unfold around him. This substantial offering of jazz masters communicating in a highly evolved common language—and playing at the absolute top of their game—is one for the books.”
