Info for Now This
Die Messlatte im Bereich des Piano Trios liegt bekanntlich hoch und dies liegt nicht zuletzt auch an Gary Peacock, der als Bassist in den Bands von Bill Evans, Paul Bley und Keith Jarrett stetig mithalf, die Messlatte in diesem Genre noch höher zu legen.
Das Album „Now This“ wurde im letzten Sommer mit Peacocks aktuellem Trio in Oslo aufgenommen. Neue Versionen einiger Peacock-Klassiker wie „Moor“, „Vignette“, „Requiem“ und „Gaya“ sind durchmischt mit Kompositionen von Marc Copland und Joey Baron, genauso wagte sich das Trio aber auch an Scott La Faro’s „Gloria’s Step“ heran. Die Rollen innerhalb der Band sind gleichberechtigt – eine Tatsache, die dem melodischen Erfindungsreichtum in Peacocks Bassspiel sehr zu Gute kommt. Marc Copland beweist stets ein besonderes Gespür für die Besonderheiten einer Komposition und Joey Baron bringt sowohl Instinkt für den Drive als auch außerordentliches Feingefühl für sensible Details mit.

Gary Peacock
A subtle but adventurous bassist, Gary Peacock's flexibility and consistently creative ideas have been an asset to several important groups. He was originally a pianist, playing in an Army band while stationed in Germany in the late '50s. Peacock switched to bass in 1956, staying on in Germany after his discharge to play with Hans Koller, Attila Zoller, Tony Scott, and Bud Shank. In 1958 he moved to Los Angeles where he performed with Barney Kessel, Don Ellis, Terry Gibbs, Shorty Rogers, and (most importantly) Paul Bley, among others. After moving to New York in 1962, Peacock worked with Bill Evans (1962-1963), the Paul Bley trio, Jimmy Giuffre, Roland Kirk, and George Russell. In 1964, after a brief stint with Miles Davis, Peacock started an association with Albert Ayler in Europe, also playing with Roswell Rudd and Steve Lacy. Peacock alternated between Ayler and Paul Bley for a time and returned briefly to Miles Davis in the late '60s. After a period in Japan (1969-1972), Peacock studied biology (1972-1976), worked with Bley, and off and on from the late '70s has played (and recorded) in a trio with Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette.
