Gary Peacock was an American jazz double-bassist. He recorded a dozen 
albums under his own name, and also performed and recorded with major 
jazz figures such as Albert Ayler, Paul Bley, and Bill Evans. In 
addition, he recorded over twenty albums with Keith Jarrett’s “Standards
 Trio”, which also featured drummer Jack DeJohnette, and which existed 
for over 30 years. DeJohnette stated that he admired Peacock’s “sound, 
choice of notes, and, above all, the buoyancy of his playing.” Pianist 
Marilyn Crispell called Peacock a “sensitive musician with a great 
harmonic sense.”

	An amazing bass player, he got a really big sound out of his very difficult instrument.
