“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.”
“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.”
“Tribute to quiet, peaceful times…hear the peace and love…. and feel the time when man’s mind meets nature.”
“Yes – joy and excellence radiate outwards throughout this recording too and align with that quip expertly realised by all involved”
“Simply beautiful!…Listening to Peregrine put a BIG smile on my face in what has been a tough week.”
