About Eric Alabaster's Original Music

Paghel Meshugah: The Loco Love Music of Eric Alabaster

"... a truly interesting and entertaining blend of American Jazz, Caribbean, Indian and Pakistani and other world music. Alabaster’s years of playing with a wide range of artists from throughout the globe has influenced his effort… should please adventurous listeners tired of the same listening experience."
- Brad Walseth, ChicagoJazz.net

“Playing [Eric's] music has opened a side of my playing that I did not know existed. He has captured an authenticity of Eastern Music that you can't reach from a text book. Listening to the rhythms, melodies, chord structures, and arrangements you can tell that he’s lived the music. I am honored and humbled every time I play Eric's music.”
- Duane Eubanks, trumpet maestro

“It is a good kind of Fusion that doesn’t short shrift the richness of possibility...Drummer Eric Alabaster shows himself flexible and able to mesh with the Indian stylistic parameters with conviction…one of the more successful Jazz-Indian Fusion outings in some time."
