Tangents is a studio album by American jazz bassist Gary Peacock recorded in Switzerland in 2016 together with pianist Marc Copland and drummer Joey Baron. This is the final Peacock’s studio album as a leader; he contributed five tracks out of 11.
Britt Robson of JazzTimes stated “That ambiance of received wisdom, of patient certainty, permeates Tangents.” Cormac Larkin in his review for The Irish Times mentioned, “A set of mostly Peacock compositions – with Alex North’s love theme from Spartacus and Miles Davis’s classic Blue in Green thrown in for good measure – veers from ruminative abstraction to tender lyricism to joyous swing without losing the intense focus of three old hands, masters of their respective instruments, who have the courage and the humility to let the music decide where it wants to go.” Karl Ackermann of All About Jazz added, “At eighty-two years of age, one need only listen to “Rumblin'” to hear Peacock solo like the ageless wonder that he is.”…read more.
