Gary Peacock & Bill Frisell: Just So Happens CD in a jewel case.
“…a riveting duet… …for its wealth of uncanny empathy, liberal doses of chance-taking, and raw-boned musicality, “Just So Happens” is one of the finest jazz albums of the year.” – Jazziz
Pairing two Jazz and music legends, this Postcards album, “Gary Peacock & Bill Frisell: Just So Happens”, presents the fascinating combination of celebrated bassist Gary Peacock with eclectic guitar guru Bill Frisell. Together, the duo construct original compositions, play a poignant, affecting version of “Good Morning Heartache”, and surprise the listener with their fresh interpretations of two traditional American tunes, “Home on the Range” and “Red River Valley”. “Just So Happens” also features Peacock playing bowed bass for the first time on a recording since his work with Albert Ayler in the 1960s.Gary Peacock bass GOODBill Frisell Live
“4 STARS! …Peacock turns in a masterful, always musical performance, and his warm, woody tone [is recorded] with exceptional presence and depth.” – Down Beat Magazine
One the most melodically inclined bassist in Jazz, Gary Peacock has become a renowned figure in Jazz by performing his daring, warm yet big, fluid yet pensive, bass sounds alongside renowned musicians such as Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, and Keith Jarrett. His collaborator for this musical expedition is the famed guitarist Bill Frisell. Whether performing classic Jazz standards with Elvis Costello or ambient musings and abstractions alongside John Zorn, Bill Frisell’s style is uncontainable. His awesome technique and ability to control the timbres and harmonics of his instrument creates a astonishingly original sound that transcends the constraints of style, making the resonances from his guitar recognizable whether he is playing Jazz, Folk, World or Rock music.
“Frisell just has a knack for coaxing the most inviting sounds out of the instrument, and the composition skills to put them in just the right order. Combine a Colorado youth given to soul and C&W with solid jazz training, abetted by a decade-long residency in the heart of NYC’s avant scene, multiplied by a fun factor of X (he has scored Buster Keaton’s films) and you’ve got a recipe damn near perfection.” – The Mirror
For this Postcards CD, “Gary Peacock & Bill Frisell: Just So Happens”, Bill Frisell, who plays both acoustic and electric guitar on the recording, and Bass giant Gary Peacock create an imaginative album that while simultaneously respecting and reflecting the influence of Jazz, also constructs a new music that pushes past its traditional boundaries. In short, the recording is a magical collaboration between two astounding artists.

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob

After a precision liftoff in Tabasco and setting a course to travel the space ways from planet to planet, the album peels away through a wormhole just past Saturn in the eponymous track Mayan Space Station to journey through time and space in Canyons of Light. eric F
