  • Mr Chancellor, If You Were to Google the Name Peter Erskine You Would Find Two Eminent People of That Name, Both of About the Sa
    Mr Chancellor, If you were to Google the name Peter Erskine you would find two eminent people of that name, both of about the same age and both decorated, in an earlier stage of their careers, by highly distinctive and yet virtually identical moustaches. One Peter Erskine is one of our great jazz musicians, the drummer who first achieved fame with the band Weather Report. The other is one of our great business leaders, the manager who was until recently Chairman and Chief Executive of the telephone company O2. Given the remarkable physical resemblance and given the meteorological and musical strengths of our University, there is scope for some confusion here, but it is the business leader I present to you today. From humble North-East London beginnings, Peter Erskine’s drive, enthusiasm and immense ability took him first, via a psychology degree at Liverpool, into a career in marketing. Following positions at Polycell and Colgate Palmolive and a substantial and successful stint at what is widely regarded as the world’s most sophisticated marketing company, Mars, he was headhunted in 1990 to be head of sales and marketing at a start-up mobile telephone company by the name of Unitel – known nowadays as T-mobile. Three years later he moved to British Telecom and by 1998 he was Managing Director of BT’s own mobile telephone arm, Cellnet. By 2001, following the de-merger and re-branding of the Cellnet business, he was Chief Executive Officer of what was then mmO2. Under Peter’s direction, O2 grew rapidly to become the largest and most successful mobile telephone operator in Britain, as well as in Ireland, Germany and the Czech Republic.

Indeed, from a position of relative obscurity when he arrived in New York in 1959, he went on to become one of contemporary jazz’s most prolific and commercially successful composers. The main focus of this dissertation will be Zawinul’s rise to prominence in American jazz during the 1960s and 1970s.

[I] LYNDON REYNOLDS Ill Miles et Alia The list of musicians who have played with Miles Davis since 1966 contains a remarkable number of big names, including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, Jack de Johnette, Dave Hol l and, John McLaughlin and Miroslav Vitous. All of these have worked success fully without Miles, and most have made a name for themselves whilst or since working with him. Who can say whether this is due to the limelight given them by playing alongside , Miles, the musical rewards of working with him, or Miles's talent-spotting abili- ties? Presumably the truth is a mixture of all these. What does Miles's music owe to the creative personalities of the musicians working with him? This question is unanswerable in practice, for one cannot quan- tify individual responsibility for a group product - assuming that is what Miles's music is. It is obvious that he has chosen very creative musicians with which to work, and yet there has often been an absence of conspicuous, individual, free solo playing in his music since about 1967. It would appear that Miles can absorb musical influences without losing his balance. What we find then, is a nexus of interacting musicians, centring on Miles; that is, musicians who not only play together in various other combinations, but influence each other as well. Even if the web could be disentangled (I know not how, save with a God's-eye-view), a systematic review of all the music that lies within it would be a task both vast and boring.

  • Jaco Three Views of His Secrets
    26 bassplayer.com /january2016 Jaco Three Views of his secreTs By e.e. Bradman About hAlf An hour into the new documentary Jaco, there’s a scene that reflects a cru- cial aspect of the Jaco Pastorius legend. It’s the fall of 1975, and Blood, Sweat & Tears drummer Bobby Colomby has flown a virtually unknown Jaco from Ft. Lauderdale to New York to record his debut with jazz luminaries Hubert Laws, Herbie Hancock, Don Alias, Wayne Shorter, and Lenny White. The product of those sessions, the soulful, eclectic stunner simply titled Jaco Pastorius, would shake the bass world to its foundations, of course, but the album cover—with its bold lettering across a no-nonsense black & white portrait by Don Hunstein—might suggest that the unsmiling young maestro was overly serious about making a good first impression. That wasn’t true at all. “It was wild,” says Return To Forever drummer Lenny White of the sessions in October 1975. “Basically, we would play, do a take, and go outside and play basketball.” “We could have done it on bicycles with microphones, and he would have played it perfectly,” remembers producer Colomby, still impressed four decades later. Far from nervous, in fact, 23-year-old Jaco was natural, relaxed, and in his element. “I walked into the studio, and Jaco’s eyes were lit up because he had found home—this was the level he belonged on,” recalls trombonist/musical direc- tor Peter Graves. These quintessential Pastorius hallmarks—soul- ful virtuosity, athletic showmanship, and superhu- man technique, with confidence to burn—are central bassplayer.com / january2016 27 CS JACO JEFF YEAGER Robert Trujillo themes of Jaco.

  • Grammy Award-Winning Jazz Drummer Peter Erskine Develops Rich Content for New Beamz Player Compositions
    Grammy Award-Winning Jazz Drummer Peter Erskine Develops Rich Content for New Beamz Player Compositions Peter Erskine’s Music Featured at Summer NAMM During Demonstration of New Beamz Player Interactive Music System Nashville, TN – June 18, 2010 – Beamz Interactive, an interactive music products company that develops innovative musical instruments and music entertainment products to enable people of all ages and skill levels to play music, today announced top jazz musician Peter Erskine’s involvement in the development of original rich content for the Beamz Player Interactive Music System. Erskine contributed a series of drum sounds, rhythmic loops and beats that were composed into original Beamz songs that are packaged with the new Beamz Player Interactive Music System, which is being demonstrated at the 2010 Summer NAMM Conference in Nashville (Booth #405). “I’m a dedicated Mac user, and felt a little like a stranger in a strange land when I first was introduced to the PC-based Beamz,” said Peter Erskine. “Within moments, I thought, ‘This is far out!’ I was instantly attracted to the immediacy that the instrument offers to everyone. The Beamz is a musical gateway or doorway that allows anyone to enter the world of sampling, loops and sound manipulation. For me the interest lies in reaching budding musicians who don’t necessarily have technical or musical instrument expertise, but who have music in their hearts. It’s one of the more user-friendly interfaces I’ve ever seen.” For over 35 years, Peter Erskine has been delighting his fans with award-winning, world-class Jazz ensembles.
