	Malcolm Ball - Erskine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Peter Erskine’s skills and talents as a performer and composer will continue to develop exploring many more musical tangents and I for one am glad to see his relationship with the British musical establishment has blossomed through projects especially with Mark-Anthony Turnage and the BBCSO.
		Peter was joined by Evelyn Glennie who of course takes these musical situations as part of a days’ work but I just felt that Peters’ skills would have been better employed in the way Turnage used them in Momentum and Blood.
		It was perhaps when Peter Erskine was recording with ECM that his compositional awareness began to expand and his writing credits are going from strength to strength.

	Peter Epstein - Old School (MA Recordings)
		Three like-thinking musicians went into St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Manhattan, started playing in front of two micro-phones and four hours later, this disc was finished.
		And the almost mirthful and downright melodic drum introduction to "Meanwhile" is ample evidence for Erskine's well-deserved reputation: as the other two musicians slink into the action, the laid-back, ultracool mood of the piece offers plenty of room for everyone to stretch out admirably.
		Peter Epstein - whose previous credits include albums with pianist Michael Cain and drummers Jerry Granelli and Carola Grey - spearheads the group's sound with his multi-textured alto work, which is fruity in the low register but also capable of everything from warbling sonorousness to shrill plaintiveness.

		Peter Erskine has been a drummer of choice for notable jazz musicians such as John Abercrombie, Marc Johnson, Gary Burton the late Stan Kenton and others.
		Here, Erskine’s drumming is intricate and sensitive yet the pulse tends to veer off in different time signatures, as The Trio are rarely complacent and continue to reinvent themselves as a unit.
		Erskine’s “Twelve” develops into a straight-ahead swing, which is pleasantly austere due to John Taylor’s jazz-classical approach.

	Peter Erskine : Lava Jazz - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The Lounge Art Ensemble, a co-op trio consisting of tenor saxophonist Bob Sheppard, bassist Dave Carpenter and drummer Peter Erskine, thinks of lounge music as jazz played in small clubs, but the "lounge" title does not really do their music justice.
		Erskine is heard playing a very small drum set; Carpenter often shares the melody and much of the solo space with Sheppard, and the dozen "originals" are all based on common chord changes (a la Lennie Tristano), mostly of bop standards.
		The versatile bassist is really the key to the trio, for he functions as both a second melody instrument and a second rhythm instrument, even sounding a bit like a rhythm guitar on the humorously titled "I Hear a Rap CD" (based on "I Hear a Rhapsody").
