Bassist Gary Peacock: "Now This"

from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

Tonight's Jazz Feature is possibly the final recording by virtuoso bassist Gary Peacock. Mr Peacock has been at the forefront of this music for many years and has explored many avenues of this music. He is perhaps best known for his work with Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette in that magical and profound trio. Peacock has ventured out on his own as leader a few times and this album will be perhaps his final statement as he is now due to age and hearing loss retired from active playing. This thoughtful and introspective recording was done in July of 2014 and features the piano of Marc Copland and the drums of Joey Baron. 7 of the eleven compositions are by Peacock and he is a marvelous composer. Copland wrote two and Baron, one. Peacock honours his contemporary and late friend bassist Scott LaFaro with a version of LaFaro's "Gloria's Step". All in al this album is a wonderful way to wind up a stellar career........"Now This" will be memorable.
