[NewMusic] Peacock: A baboon's ass?

[George Cremaschi]

Gary Peacock? I'd rather discuss how he hasn't even
remotely followed up on the incredible promise of his
fantastic playing with Albert Ayler in 1964 - playing
that was as radical a step forward on his instrument
as was Ayler's and Sonny Murray's in their still-frightening
trio. Music that has blown away almost everyone who has
tried to emulate it. Music that continues to make most
post-jazz improv I hear sound puerile in comparison. Peacock's
career has been a forty-year slide into complete irrelevancy.

-George
