Reviews:
“Not only does every note count, but so do the spaces around them, with Erskine lightly sketching the pulse while Pasqua and Colley find the most melodic path through each chord progression. If only every virtuoso showed off so subtly.” – J.D. Considine, Downbeat
“WOW, what a beautiful record!!!” – Mark Griffith, Modern Drummer
“A refined and deeply expressive trio album, Peregrine showcases Peter Erskine, Alan Pasqua, and Scott Colley at their most intuitive and masterful, blending analog warmth with the sophistication of modern jazz.” – Paris Move
“Tribute to quiet, peaceful times … hear the peace and love … and feel the time when man’s mind meets nature.” – LA Jazz Scene
“This is a record that was made to sound like the musicians are in the room with you… These aren’t just songs — they’re markers of real life, and the trio plays them that way.” – Jazz Views
