Most recent all-new release from Annette Peacock... Limited edition CD, 5000 signed and numbered ...

"young," official video ... 

The last time Peacock surfaced with an offering was in 2006 when she issued a wonderful EP on her own label called, '31:31.' Only 5,000 copies were made, each signed and numbered by Peacock's own hand, but as it's been with nearly all of her recordings, '31:31' saw zero promotion and thus found very few new listeners (although at least 5,000 people have heard it). birdswithbrokenwings ...

Feels Good To Me (1977) ...

Bill Bruford's first solo album, with Annette Peacock, Alan Holdsworth, Dave Stewart and Kenny Wheeler ...

Feels Good To Me & Back To The Beginning (The Old Grey Whistle Test) 

Bruford’s first release, Feels Good to Me (EG, 1977, reissued Winterfold, 2005) came as a shock, even to those who’d been following the drummer’s career closely. Bruford’s core group featured Stewart, along already-becoming-iconic guitarist Allan Holdsworth and bassist Jeff Berlin, another too-often overlooked player. It was a muscular band, as capable of navigating Bruford’s mind-bending rhythmic twists and turns as they were a surprisingly sophisticated harmonic conception that came from the collaborative writing efforts of Bruford and Stewart. Bruford’s debut also featured the sultry-voiced Annette Peacock, mixed so far up front that, despite her relatively brief appearance, her contribution became an inescapable fundamental of the release... jazz-rock.com ...

The Paul Bley Synthesiser Show (1971) ...

Annette Peacock compositions performed by Paul Bley on ARP synthesiser with various bass and drums ... The quieter moments sound a little like Robert Wyatt's keyboard passages ...

 Snakes ...

 The drummers featured here play more in the manner of a typical drummer in a Bley piano trio, meaning quietly and with much space, and there are even a pair of acoustic piano trio numbers included to boot. This approach to percussion means the synthesizer doesn't have to compete to be heard, leading to some really marvelous moments of barely audible high pitches on "The Archangel." Rhythm section playing is particularly good throughout the recording, even in the case of musicians such as bassist Dick Youngstein and drummer Steve Haas. The rhythm section of bassist Frank Tusa and drummer Bobby Moses also contributes a lot of really beautiful playing, the drummer shifting rhythms delicately and playing a terrific solo on "Snakes." All the drummers featured have an uncanny knack of knowing when to lay out, and not only in deference to the subtle dynamics of electronic music.... allmusic.com
