Bassist Gary Peacock and Acoustic Guitarist Ralph Towner: "Oracle"

This beautifully introspective and reflective album features two great music masters. Gary Peacock, one of the premier bassists in the history of Jazz and improvised music and classical and 12-string guitarist Ralph Towner. The music here is also quietly intense and belies the fact that only two people are playing and acoustically at that! This wonderful album was recorded in Oslo for ECM Records in May of 1993. The rapport between these two is uncanny and 6 of the 9 selections are Peacock compositions. Towner wrote two and the title track "Oracle" is a co-composition. Regrettably Peacock has now retired from active public playing due to age and hearing loss but Towner is still very active and productive. Oracle is a testament to their great artistry. Enjoy.
