The Pete York Percussion Band - The Pete York Percussion Band

The Pete York Percussion Band - The Pete York Percussion Band - 1972

In 1969 Pete left Spencer on friendly terms to form a unique duo with Eddie Hardin. Hardin and York were sometimes dubbed “the World’s Smallest Big Band” and released several albums with great success, especially in Europe. The duo often played as opening act for bands like Deep Purple and it is from this time that Pete’s friendship with Jon Lord and Ian Paice stems.

By 1972 Pete York’s Percussion Band  had hit the road. It featured a brass section and three drummers as well as guitarist/singer Miller Anderson. Occasional guest drummers in this adventure were Ian Paice, Keef Hartley, Roy Dyke and Keith Moon.

Pete York's New York - Pete York's String Time

Pete York's New York - Pete York's String Time - 1983

Esse disco marca o inicio em direção ao jazz, com pitadas de rock. O som não é muito popular, mas é bom. Nesse disco o rock ainda é solicitado, mas cada vez mais escasso

As faixas, composta na maioria por covers, fazem um passeio entre o jazz, rock e uma pitadinha de pop. Um som bacana de ouvir, ainda mais que os discos do Pete York não tem a menor intenção de mostrar pra todo o mundo o quanto que ele toca, como ouvimos em outros discos-solos de bateristas.
