Alan Pasqua, the go-to keyboard wiz for jazz and rock legends, on Bob Dylan, Carlos Santana and Peter Erskine
San Diego Union-Tribune
By GEORGE VARGA
When Bob Dylan needed a genre-leaping keyboard great to provide supple instrumental accompaniment for his belated 2016 Nobel Prize acceptance speech-cum-lecture, the best person was close at hand.
Alan Pasqua, who in 2009 was named the Chair of the Jazz Studies Department at USC’s Thornton School of Music, had toured and recorded with Dylan in the late 1970s. The two live about 20 miles from each other in Los Angeles.
