Description
Recorded in 1997, Juni was the fourth and final ECM album of the Peter Erskine Trio. A piano trio led by a drummer was an unusual proposal and one that initially surprised listeners who had followed Erskine through louder adventures with Weather Report and the Stan Kenton Big Band.
But this alliance with pianist John Taylor, the trio's primary composer, and bassist Palle Danielsson soon found its own following. Down Beat described the music as "Zen-like" implying that much of its power resided in the not-played. "If such a thing as virtuosic understatement is possible, Peter Erskine's band makes it real," the Ottawa Citizen agreed.
