Martial Solal,Gary Peacock,Max Roach/France 1991

A giant star has fallen… Bill Evans, Paul Bley, Masaaki Kikuchi, Michel Petrucciani, Mark Copland, Keith Jarrett and others, there is this person in the shadow of the piano trio! ! Gary Peacock, who was said to be a living legend, has passed away. A rare live performance by the ultimate piano trio with masters Marshall Solar and Max Roach appears for the first time! ! Gary is a French jazz master from Algiers who is known for his collaborations with Django Reinhardt and others in the 1950s, Lee Konitz and John Scofield, and French jazz master Marshall Solar, as well as Parker and Miles in the 1940s. , the establishment of his debut record with Mingus in the 1950s, the legendary Massey Hall with Parker, Bud, Gillespie, and Mingus, the two-headed quintet with Clifford Brown, and in the 70s with Cecil Taylor, Shepp and other free artists. On October 26, 1991, in Marshall’s homeland of Paris, France, he performed as a legendary trio with the giant Max Roach, who had many encounters and continued to play a progressive role on the front lines and had a great influence on his successors. Gary’s memorial edition, which is a delight for jazz piano trio fans, is now available, with the live performance completely recorded on the highest quality stereo soundboard that has been carefully mastered by the label! ! The concert suddenly begins with solo improvisations followed by greetings by the three. First, Roach captivated the audience’s attention with an impressive 4-minute drum performance, followed by Gary’s 4-minute truly creative artistic improvisation, and finally Marshall, who is said to have been influenced by Petrucciani. They performed a brilliant play with a powerful touch, and from there they entered into a “Tunisian night.” In addition, they perform wonderfully with a set list centered on standards such as “All the Things You Are,” “Darn That Dream,” “Baplicity,” “Here’s That Rainy Day,” and more. In addition, the stylish production with Max and Gary’s solo improvisations between songs is also excellent. In particular, Max’s improvisation almost exclusively using hi-hats before the end is intense. Although the performance overlaps with the Standards Trio of Gary, Keith, and Jack, the approach and performance are completely different just because the members are different. Harder and freer, with an outstanding technique that allows him to play even difficult approaches that would be unbelievable to the average person without being obvious to the listener, and a way that seems unthinkable compared to the standard. The novel interpretations were truly eye-opening! Marshall, Gary and Max, who play the piano in a variety of ways as their mood dictates, also play a variety of styles, and the three of them work together like telepathy, sharing the context of the music at any given moment. At times abstract and dynamic, yet delicate and controlled ensemble sounds can be heard, perhaps because the performance is based on a firm vision and the improvisation is appropriate to the performance. There are few performances where you can feel the mysterious charm of jazz music as much as you do! ! !
