Gary Peacock and Ralph Towner’s first of two recorded duo meetings “Oracle”, originally released in 1994, will be released on vinyl for the first time as part of ECM’s Luminessence Series, arriving in a tip-on gatefold jacket with photos from the session. You can pre-order it now here: https://ecm.lnk.to/Oracle_LP

As Gramophone magazine noted at the time, on the album “Peacock and Towner produce an intellectual intensity” that is “seductively beautiful to listen to”. Tackling each other’s originals, the duo engages in thoughtful interplay that blends composed material with adventurous improvisation seamlessly, creating evocative chamber music dialogues that emphasize the particular sound qualities of their stringed instruments. The album was produced by Manfred Eicher.

“The charming, thoughtfoul Oracle conveys the familiarity and empathy of partners who have worked together for years – light touch, intricacy and sensitivity pervade the session. Oracle wins you over with its warmth and melodicism.” – Downbeat, 1994

Thomas Strønen’s ensemble Time Is A Blind Guide just released their new track “Cubism”, which anticipates their new album “Off Stillness”, out on December 5.

Order it here: https://ecm.lnk.to/OffStillness

At times the group’s three string instruments make up a firm trio-unit that enters into thoughtful dialogue with piano and percussion, but for the most part, the group’s pulse works as a whole, with each instrument dynamically gliding in and out of the picture.
