Gary Peacock (1935 - 2020)

Gary Peacock left us 4 days ago on September 4.

Regarded as being one of the most outstanding bassists in modern times his recordings with Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett and Paul Bley and many others, particularly on the ECM label are legendary. Most of them are listed here on Wikipedia.

I never caught him live although his legacy is guaranteed by his extensive discography.

Gary Peacock was 85.
May he Rest In Peace.

There is apparently some doubt as to whether this is true or not.
