Peter Erskine & Mark-Anthony Turnage
Mark-Anthony Turnage and jazz drummer Peter Erskine talk about a collaboration whose seeds were sown when an admiring teenage composer heard Erskine on Weather Report records in the late 1970s. Finally meeting in the 90s, they talk about their first major collaboration, ‘Blood on the Floor’ and the close musical, professional and personal friendship which grew from it.
