| Gary Peacock Just So Happens Postcards Post 1005 (CD) (USA) Produced by: Ralph Simon Recorded: February 17 & 18, 1994, at Electric Lady Studios, NYC Released: October 19, 1994 Gary Peacock (bass), Bill Frisell (guitars). Five songs were co-written by Frisell. "I immediately recognized a deep musical resonance with Bill when we started to record this CD. In my experience, this kind of synchronicity is very rare-- and it was certainly an oppurtunity I didn't want to miss. In Just So Happens, an enormous part of the synchronicity we were able to acheive is due to Bill--he is a remarkable player.""-Gary Peacock "Peacock turns in a masterful, always musical performance, and . . .his warm, woody tone [is recorded} with exceptional presence and depth."-- Down Beat (February 1995) "a riveting duet . . . For its wealth of uncanny empathy, liberal doses of chance-taking, and raw-boned musicality, Just So Happens is one of the finest jazz albums of the year."-- Jazziz (January 1995) |

"How can it not be swinging with Ginger and Charlie. They don't need a band to swing. Each of them has this enormous beat that pulls you along. Drummers really bring me out. And with all of that tonality and movement and melody coming out of Gingers drums. I'll be able to play anything I want next to that. It's not about playing in any one style anymore. I'd like to play them all at once." - Bill Frisell CD Liner Notes |

"Hal Willner had the idea of going back to the old jazz poetry thing. Hal got some musicians like Bill Frisell, Arto Lindsey, and others, Lounge Lizards, people from the Knitting Factory, and assembled those people and he saw me, not singing, but as a vocalist, reciting. And so he had me come into the studio and make a four hour tape of the favorite pieces of all those musicians who read my books. Then made a list of what I should recite, and I did that in the studio, wih him present. Then went home, full texts, lead sheets, compositions, ideas,...came back to the studio, and did it all live. All together in the studio. They already had my dynamics from the tape, but I did it again, live."-Allen Ginsberg to Harvey R. Kubernik |
