Description

Recorded in Oslo in August 1981 and produced by Manfred Eicher, Gary Peacocks Voice from the Past is reissued on 180g vinyl with a free download code included.

This is a record with much to recommend it. Peacock, as ever, is sublime and the perpetual motion of DeJohnettes drumming maintains a superb tension. The broad toned Stanko skirts the niceties and finds something of consequence to say every time he walks to the wicket but, surprisingly, it is Garbareks many solid innings that are the backbone of the whole thing.
