Double Bass Gary Peacock info?

You're welcome, but you should probably thank Paul Bley for the excellent Paul Bley quote....

Of course. Thanks for hipping me to this particular Bley quote.

It's a good one, for sure. Found in this book, which is a very worthwhile read....

I'm old and know a whole lot of words -- including some of the big ones and some technical ones -- and have seen/heard many, many shows. This, IMHO, is a perfectly articulate account.

I was just reading how Dave Brubeck met Paul Desmond.
Dave sat in with some of the members of the 253 American Ground Forces Band stationed in San Francisco. Paul Desmond (playing clarinet) was impressed with Brubeck's chords and said" "Man, like wigsville - you really grooved me with those nutty changes,"

Caught another Peacock set at Birdland with Joey Baron and Marc Copeland last night. Might catch Saturday, too!

Here's some links to the band I mentioned earlier in this old thread. I was thinking it was under Harold Land's name but it was Carmell Jones' session with Harold, Frank Strazzeri, and Leon Petties, who went with Nat Cole later, and Gary.

It was recorded in 1961 in L.A. before Gary moved to NYC.

Interesting that "Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye" by The Red Mitchell/Harold Land was recorded in the very same year with the same line up.

Unamped, four on the floor.

And also on Pacific Jazz, 1961, Carmell and Gary cut an album ("New Groove") with Bud Shank. At this same time, possibly the same month, only with Dennis Budimir on guitar and Mel Lewis on drums. They must have been churning out the records with various players and instrumentations during that period. It's as if Pacific Jazz was trying to become Prestige Records west

What a great thread. The posts from 06 & 07 reflect a far different vibe and time @TBDB.

Speaking of old times, I hope you don't mind my going a little OT here, but I think it may be excusable. Paul W.'s post got me waxing nostalgic, so I pulled out a bunch of those old LPs. While listening to the Jones/Land LP and reading the liner notes, I noticed that the first side begins with Ellington's "Gone Fishing", a theme from a movie, "Anatomy of a Murder", but then it hit me that Jimmy Bond's tune "Night Tide," it is the third and last tune of side one, is also from a movie. It's a spooky, black and white flick starring a very young Dennis Hopper, but what is really interesting is that Jimmy Bond did the music, and what is more interesting, he and his group are prominently featured in the opening scenes of the flick, playing the title tune: "Night Tide" although I think it has a different name in the film credits.
If you're interested in comparing the styles of Peacock and Bond on this "modal" composition, check it out on Netflix. The whole band is clearly visible, but I don't recognize any of them other than Jimmy. Alas, I wasn't a west-coaster I'll bet Paul, or some one out there, knows who the rest of the players are?
Again, I apologize for going OT
