Time Being is an album by American jazz drummer Peter Erskine recorded in November 1993 and released on ECM the following year. The trio features pianist John Taylor and bassist Palle Danielsson.^[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "This CD is actually most interesting for the playing of Taylor who contributes three of the originals and plays in a style not that far from Keith Jarrett. In general the music starts out pretty quiet but builds its intensity and holds one's interest."^[2]
