cxiv. ERSKINE, Peter: Distant Blue

cxiv. ERSKINE, Peter (1954-       )

Distant Blue (2016)
PE, drums
Vardan Ovsepian, piano
Damian Erskine, bass
(6:45)

from In Praise Of Shadows.


Inspired by the eponymous essay by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, this delightful Ovsepian-penned tune in 6/4 is as calm as a Zen garden.

With only an occasional change of time sigs, the piece grooves along in SIX and towards the end, Peter hits rim shots on FIVE.

Beautiful ensemble playing by three incredible musicians. Damian is Peter's nephew.
