Release Info

Marc Copland: piano; Gary Peacock: double bass; Joey Baron: drums In the realm of the piano trio the bar is set high, and creative bassist Gary Peacock has helped raise it in the groups of Bill Evans, Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett. Now This is an album with the bassists current trio, recorded last summer in Oslo. Powerful new versions of some Peacock classics such as Moor, Vignette, Requiem and Gaya are interspersed with recent compositions. Marc Copland and Joey Baron each contribute tunes, and the group also tackles Scott La Faros Glorias Step. In this band, roles are very evenly shared, and this is an optimum context in which to appreciate the melodic invention of Peacocks bass playing. Marc Copland always honors the needs of the compositions and Joey Baron supplies both drive and sensitive detail. Now This is issued in celebration of Gary Peacocks 80th birthday on May 12th. Recorded July 12-14, 2014 at Rainbow Studio, Oslo Recording and Mix Engineer: Jan Erik Kongshaug DDD Produced by Manfred Eicher
