"Worth The Wait"
reunites Peter Erskine with trumpeter Tim Hagans.
Erskine and Hagans both shared the stage in the
early 70’s with the great Stan Kenton and his
Orchestra. Hagens is currently the artistic director
for the Swedish Norrbotten Big Band. The band’s
mission is to perform original music with incredible
soloists. On this newest recording they have just
that — the great Peter Erskine. After a long absence
of performing together in the big band setting,
Erskine and Hagens are back together again playing
their own music, and with one listen to this
incredible recording you will see that it was truly
Worth The Wait.
“All of the soloists, not just Hagans and Erskine,
are terrific and even swagger through the variously
styled charts. What is obvious is that everyone,
including the audience, is having a good time while
playing and listening to some killer music. Smiling
is a very easy thing to do, especially while you are
moving to the grooves and sounds that the
arrangements produce. Anyone who likes the big band
sound combined with progressive, never complacent
charts will spin Worth The Wait many times.” — All
