Gary Peacok - VOICES

Sony (Japan), 1971 -- Condition: New Copy

One of the hippest albums ever recorded by bassist Gary Peacock -- one of his rare Japanese-only sessions, and a date that beautifully mixes his bass with acoustic and electric piano from Masabumi Kikuchi! The sound is often somewhat dark -- building up slowly from the bottom on long, contemplative lines from Peacock's bass -- as Kikuchi fills things in with some slightly sharp edges, but never too much so. The rest of the group features twin drums from Masahiko Togashi and Hiroshi Murakami -- although each player drops out for a number apiece. Titles are all originals by Gary -- and include "Hollows", "Bonsho", "Ishi", "Voice From The Past", "Requiem", and "Ae Ay".

So?

jangry i was wondering this as well...i have paysages which is pretty ok and i also had a peacock/kikuchi/murakaimi trio disc which dg sold a while ago and it was also decent...i dunno...i am curious...this is probably the same..paysages has two drummers also but i guess the main issue is watananbe's shrill tone...so i don't know but i would also appreciate feedback...

Great record, imho. My favorite Peacock ever.

The presence of Togashi, in addition to the great cover photo, are selling points indeed.

Yeah, I dig that cover too; pretty hip for 1971.

I looked up my usual sources for Japanese LPs and they don't have it... must be pretty rare, though I know I've seen it offered.
