mjzee Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Jack DeJohnetteLike Page 58m Gary Peacock. It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of the great Gary Peacock. I had the good fortune to have spent over 30 years playing some amazing music with him both separately and the Trio with Keith Jarrett. Gary had a great sound, feel and highly creative imagination. It was Garys album on ECM, Tales of Another that brought us together, after that we decided to stay playing together, and the rest is history. I have a lot of love and gratitude for what he has contributed to the music we call Jazz. Lydia and I send our deepest love to the Peacock family you are in our hearts always.

Justin V Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 I'm sorry to hear this. I caught Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio at what I think was their penultimate concert before they disbanded. It was the only time I saw Gary Peacock perform. He was represented well in the mix and I gained a greater appreciation for how much he added to the group, as he did to so many groups. Thank you for the music, Mr. Peacock, and rest in peace.

jazzbo Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Now there are reports that this is fake news. . . just as it was in May when it was reported to he had died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Still haven't seen a confirmation either way. FB folks are telling both sides of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) What's the source for the report being false or a hoax, which Annette Peacock is tweeting as well? Hopefully not mediamass.net. (And hopefully he's still with us--seems odd that Jack DeJohnette would be taken in, though.) EDIT: I don't see any tweet about Gary Peacock on DeJohnette's recent Twitter feed--so if it was posted there originally, he's deleted it.

jazzbo Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 My source were several friends reporting they read that it was a hoax. I think there's a good chance it is a hoax (again) as there is still no real official news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct; what I posted above (from DeJohnette's FB page) is no longer there. Very odd. If it is a hoax, I cannot imagine the motivation of the hoaxers.

Shrdlu Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 That hoax is in very bad taste. I have never heard of anything like it, and I don't know what anyone could gain from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
