Post Description

Gary Peacock's 'Now This' was darker in tone, lyrical but sometimes dissonant, 
and given to bouts of introspection. It felt like a trio finding its way into the heart of the music, 
and in the process discovering a new working methodology.

That is true also of Tangents, which, as the title suggests, tends to take the road less travelled 
and defy listener expectations. It is a democratic and well-balanced group engaged in a three-way process 
of music making. The creative push/pull of the players and the way they give each other plenty 
of unaccompanied solo space can perhaps be heard to best advantage on the title track 
and the group improvisation Empty Forest, though the readings of Miles Davis's Blue in Green 
and Alex North's theme for Spartacus display just as much musical intelligence and inobviousness.

Peacock composed five of the eleven pieces on Tangents, and they are sparse 
and nicely open-ended, a good stimulus for improvisers. Peacock, Baron and Copland 
consistently get the best out of them, and each other. Theirs is an unflashy music, 
subtle as the devil, which I suspect will reveal its treasures gradually, over a number of listens, 
something I look forward to.
