“The trio can shift from a traditional jazz piano trio to some kind of contemporary chamber group and then to an electronics ensemble,
and those moves can be made instantaneously. It really has the broadest potential of a group I’ve done in terms of where it can go on a dime and that’s what’s exciting”. (Craig Taborn)

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 on January 16, 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.
