Farrell Family Jazz at the Athenaeum | Peter Erskine Trio with Bob Mintzer

Jazz returns to the Athenaeum for our annual series of summer concerts in the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Music Room (at 1008 Wall Street in La Jolla). This series features both Athenaeum favorites and debuts by internationally acclaimed artists. Seating is limited—so order soon!
Next up, on Saturday, July 20, is a reunion of the Peter Erskine Trio with special guest Bob Mintzer, featuring Erskine on drums, Alan Pasqua on piano, Darek Oles on bass, and Bob Mintzer on tenor sax.
DownBeat wrote, “Erskine is a consistently refreshing catalyst; Oles is pitch-perfect and rock-steady; and Pasqua’s less-is-more approach to the keys provides contemporary harmonic and melodic context while leaving space for magic to unfold.” Known widely for his 30-year stint with the Yellowjackets and as leader of the WDR Big Band, Mintzer has been praised by DownBeat for his “prodigious talent and ingenuity.”
