gary is one of the great jazz double bassists & innovaters of the instrument, which he has earned & alone deserves respect. beyond this he is a gracious, generous gentleman & an even greater person...a man's man without all the bravado...nuff said.

Was, like pretty much every other post in this thread-that-won't-die, pure opinion. We have to take your word for it that Gary Peacock is a gracious generous gentleman, etc. I have no proof of that. In fact the article says something quite different. Not that I disagree with the first half of your post. The post you were responding to was also an opinion.

By the way, I realize I am helping to keep this zombie thread alive without adding any substance, and though I tried for a while, I just couldn't leave the question unanswered. Baahh

the article simply cites a conversation...with costello walkin out & gary's (2nd hand) quote about not playin behind a rock star. how the writer could turn that (what???)...into a diatribe of the arrogance & character of GP...then to see a bunch of tb'ers jump on & dis gary one way or another, is unfortunate.

way back this thread, chris commented about the character of the "pot-shooter"...he wasnt wrong.
btw...the specific post i responded to was an irresponsible, assenine & unnecessary group of words...not an opinion.

Will a high pass filter fit in a Prius? More importantly, if Elvis Costello's HP filter fit in a Prius, would Peacock then agree to drive the Prius?
