Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars For dedicated fans of Crispell and/or Annette Peacock.......1998-12-05

Crispell's interpretations of the music of Annette Peacock are not for everyone. Most people have never heard of Peacock and have nothing to compare it to. Peacock's songs - all written, apparently, during the 60's are bitter-sweet, poingant in the extreme. Crispell brings her enormous power as a classically trained pianist to the interpretation of such little masterpieces as "Both" , "touching" and "open, to love". Inevitably the music must be compared to the definitive interpretations of the same music by Paul Bley's trio albums from the 60's and 70's. Crispell's approach is somewhat more lyrical if less dramatic. It is obvious that her drummer, Paul Motion, has listened to the nervous probing drumming of Barry Altschul who worked on Bley's albums. If you like this album, do explore Bley's work, especially early albums like "Ramblin'" and "open, to love". His later album, "Annette", likewise dedicated to Peacock's music, is to my mind, a little weak.
