Peacock, Annette -& Paul Bley-
Dual Unity
Here's a reissue of Annette Peacock and Paul Bley's 'Dual Unity' album, originally released in 1972 on Freedom Records. Hailed as a pioneer and artistic genius by many, this album captures Peacock in her element alongside husband, Canadian jazz genius Paul Bley. 'Dual Unity' is a landscape of aural vision captured on tape in 1970, during their first European tour. For 33 minutes and 21 seconds, the listener is absorbed by other spirits. Using Robert Moog's earliest synthesizers, Bley and Peacock apply the strategic use of silence to indicate its reflective nature with captivating results. A statement of immensity through synthetic minimalism and a milestone in the avant-garde, free jazz movement. Guests musicians: Han Bennink (drums) on 'M.J.' and 'Gargantuan Encounter,' Mario Pavone (bass) and Laurence Cook (drums) on 'Richter Scale' and 'Dual Unity.'
