If jazz needed a Patti Smith, a frank and alluring wordsmith with an abiding love of rock and roll, it found one in Annette Peacock. Throughout the sixties and seventies, Peacock fused free jazz with rock, electronic music and poetry, developing an idiosyncratic artistic language that has rarely garnered the attention it deserved.
If you frequent this site, you've no doubt noticed the slow down pace we've hit. It's been refreshing after a torrid set of early summer months. We've pulled up a bit lame partly due to overexhaustion and largely due to a very (as we like to call it) "vanilla time". We get sent many suggestions, we are always on the hunt for new acts, but lately, our findings have gone the route of a one-trick-pony type of jazz. So please, send me suggestions here .

(Perhaps that's just a deluded fantasy of mine. Probably.) But, anyways. . . it's been a long time and I have some catching up to do. So here's a bunch of great tracks that I've come across over the last month. And here's all of them in a 139MB zip file . [...]
Annette Peacock: Pony and I'm The One From: I'm The One [RCA, 1972] I've never been slow in proclaiming my love of ballsy female singers on this site and today I have another selection for you in the debut solo album of Annette Peacock. A gifted pianist from an early age, Annette's talent really came to fruition after her husband at the time, Gary Peacock, started touring with Albert Ayler's band in 1964. Over the course of the next few years Annette's [...]
