Following the success of Peter Erskine's 'Dr. Um and the Lost Pages,' Peter and his Dr. Um Band are ready to offer a Second Opinion. With a slew of new compositions plus some tasty standards from Henry Mancini and Victor Young, 'Second Opinion' reaches new heights for fun, funk, swing and interactive blowing . . . all in Hi-Fi sound! Peter says that this is his 'favorite album yet. ' Building upon terrific media coverage and reviews for 'Dr. Um,' Second Opinion will easily find its audience of Erskine fans, Beasley fans, Bob Sheppard fans, and soon-to-be Benjamin Shepherd (bassist) fans.

Peter Erskine has won two Grammys and holds an honorary doctorate from the Berklee College of Music. He's been a part of the big bands of Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson, and has played with the likes of Steps Ahead, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Diana Krall, the Brecker Brothers, John Abercrombie, Bob Mintzer, Eliane Elias and many more. Then there's the iconic Weather Report band, for which he is the longest tenured drummer, playing during the period that included bass legend Jaco Pastorius. But upon the release of his latest recording, Dr. Um and the Lost Pages on his own Fuzzy Music label, the 61-year-old Erskine calls the Weather Report-influenced disk "a fun proclamation. A way of clearing a pathway for me to move on to other things." Erskine, an open and warm man with a captivating spirit, is sure to open other doors. He has a skeleton key for that kind of thing.
