Originally written as a theme song for a television show, this swinger thrives on keeping good time and playing with a solid sound. A fully-voiced sax soli and full band shout are highlights, and short fills by the drummer are the only 'solo' requirements. Duration ca. 2:20.

PULLIN’ PUNCHES is a brisk, free wheeling up tempo jazz piece in the Chick Corea bag. The essential theme has lots of brass punches within it, hence the title, and it includes plenty of fun for the Drummer with ample interplay throughout. A wonderful piece by one of the country’s greatest contemporary writers. No doubt, this chart is for more mature bands only! Terrific for festival use!

Welcome the yuletide season in jazzy style as Saint Nick meets Benny Goodman and his renowned drummer Gene Krupa. This inventive take on the holiday chestnut Jingle Bells begins with the iconic toms solo launching into the familiar melody. When the full ensemble enters on the chorus, sleigh bells add to the festive mood. After a call-and-response section between the brass and woodwind sections, Jolly Old St. Nicholas makes his appearance to close out the piece!

No Beethoven chronicles the life and times of drummer Peter Erskine, with the legendary band Weather Report being the nexus to this first-hand account. Erskine was in the midst of the modern American jazz music scene as it underwent its most dynamic change. Peter Erskine is a musician of his times with incredibly rich stories to tell in this autobiography. Including never-before published photographs. No Beethoven includes chapters dedicated to Weather Report and the musicians Joe Zawinul, Jaco Pastorius, and Wayne Shorter, plus the bands Steps Ahead, Steely Dan, and artists such as Elvin Jones, Joni Mitchell, Freddie Hubbard, Diana Krall, Steve Gadd, producer Manfred Eicher, composers John Williams, and Mark-Anthony Turnage, et al. The book provides a revealing look at the creative process involved in performing music on-stage and in the recording studio, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how the musical instrument industry operates. This is a book for all musicians and fans of music. As famed drummer and Rush founder Neil Peart writes: No Beethoven is among the best musical autobiographies I have read. Peter's story is absorbing and compelling, full of well-drawn characters and incidents both humorous and serious. It flows with the same ease and naturalness as his drumming, and under that good-humored gloss, it conveys the same profundity of experience and ideas. This book should be read not only by every drummer, but by every musician. Even amateurs of music performance will find it entertaining and worthwhile.
