Paul Bley- Mr Joy 1968

An Alternative to the rip kindly shared here by Chris , my rip from a scratchy 70's reissue on semi bootleg label..Trip..
A great record and one that's been surprisingly unissued on CD... something which we deplore!
Perhaps someday , the boffins who curate Mosaic records might consider issuing a deluxe Box-Set , of Bley's important  60's Trio recordings.
.
Enjoy , and please support Bley by buying his current cd's and fascinating book of interviews with Norman Meehan, "Time will Tell' from Bley's own site if possible.

HELEN MERRILL with the GARY PEACOCK TRIO "S'POSIN" (VICTOR/STORYVILLE, 1971)

The great Helen Merrill's most challenging, outer worldly record ever, featuring loose, free  highly textured arrangements by Masahiko Sato and Peacock, recorded just 4 months before the epochal "Samadhi' by the trio...
This also features a touching version of Ellington's 'In a sentimental mood' which is so obviously Gary Peacock's very moving tribute to Jimmy Blanton... beautiful oh so beautiful, painfully so..

Only reissued on Cd in Japan and out of print to the best of my knowledge ..
This rip is taken from the early 70's Storyville LP ..

Helen Merrill is as far as i know still recording...and well worth supporting !
she has a website here
ENJOY!!!!

Masahiko Togashi-Gary Peacock-Masahiko Satoh-Wave, 1986

A small contribution to the Celebration of Masahiko Togashi's great oeuvre
A warm reunion, Gary Peacock , hooking up again with Old Friends, Togashi &Satoh, having spent the early 70's in Japan as a student of George Ohsawa, founder of the the Macrobiotic Diet.
Peacock recorded prolifically during that sojourn including several albums with  Togashi notably the profoundly beautiful Voices (Nippon Columbia 1971) and  with Satoh(Samahdi, Far East 1971)

This Appears to be out of print at source, a thorough internet check reveals that there are but a few copies available through Amazon, at well over the Hundred Dollar mark, with only one purporting to be 'New' at 40 or so dollars , hard to know for certain ,I am open to correction on the above point..
beautiful stuff Enjoy!!

PS .. the availability of Peacock's records is Commensurate with his stature, a first choice recommendation for anyone wanting to explore his records under his own name would be 'Voice from the past' an atmospheric session Featuring Stanko and Garbarek  from 1982 on ECM

As for Masahiko Satoh , One cant recommend strongly enough,the Hugely Potent "Yatagarasu' ,a trio with Broetzmann , and Moriyama, on the NOT TWO label
And the Magnificent, 'Signature' with Joelle Leandre , and Yuji Takahashi on RED TOUCAN

Mal Waldron & Gary Peacock- First Encounter-(Catalyst CAT7906, LP Rec 1971)

A treat for those who love the great Mal Waldron's ,wonderful sequence of exploratory albums from the early 70's (quite a few of which are still out of print).
My rip is from the catalyst (U.S) reissue from the mid 70's ..

A pity Togashi Masahiko who at the time was performing and recording with Gary Peacock wasn't on hand for this .. other than the heavy handed drumming, this is top class!

there is an mp3 rip floating around for anyone who prefers that format.. just google the name of the album.
-First encounter- : Mal Waldron & Gary Peacock :

 Mal Waldron (p)
 Gary Peacock (b)
 Hiroshi Murakami (d)


Tokyo, March 8, 1971
She walks in beauty Victor (Jap)SMJX-10122
The heart of the matter -
What's that -
Walking way -

Note : Entire session on Catalyst CAT7906 and Explosive (F)538010.
A note,to those exploring Waldron for the first time, its almost all great , but for those who like tougher more exploratory sounds his series of enja discs are exceptionally glorious !
 
 
ENJOY!!
