PEACOCK GARY

(CD) TANGENTS
Some of Gary Peacock's finest music has been made in piano trios. Early in his musical life, Peacock established a fresh role for the bass as an independent melodic voice, a concept carried forward in the history-making groups he's played with - from Paul Bley's Bill Evans's trios to Keith Jarrett's. As a bandleader he has also been influential: Tangents is the second release from the great bassist's trio with Marc Copland and Joey Baron and draws on years of shared playing in diverse contexts. All three band members contribute composition...

(CD) SOMEWHERE
The "Somewhere" in which the 'Standards' trio find themselves is Lucerne, Switzerland with a performance both exploratory and in-the-tradition. The Neue Zurcher Zeitung headlined its review of the show "kontrollierte Ekstase" - controlled ecstasy - an apt metaphor for a set that begins in improvisational "Deep Space" modulates into Miles Davis' "Solar", soars through the standards "Stars Fell On Alabama" and "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" and climaxes with an extended romp through West Side Story, as Bernstein's "Somewhere" and ...

(CD) AZURE
"Azure" features beautiful duets by two great improvisers whose compatibility was proven long ago. Gary Peacock and Marilyn Crispell made outstanding music together in Marilyn's trio with the late Paul Motian, on ECM albums including "Nothing ever was, anyway" and "Amaryllis", but their duo project also has an extensive history, until now undocumented on disc. With their shared sense of lyricism, their individual compositional styles and their profound background in free playing, Peacock and Crispell are exceptional musical partners. The a...

(CD) ALWAYS LET ME GO
A new high-water mark in the life of the extraordinary trio of Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. Recorded on two nights in Tokyo last year, this double album is an endlessly fascinating document that takes the full measure of the group's creativity. Keith Jarrett describes the work as "free music that was not written, rehearsed or planned in advance of the performances." But Jarrett's free music embraces an enormous range of possibilities. There is an abundance of melody in these spontaneous constructions, and passing allusi...
