Ein fast vergessenes, und wie ich finde, sehr lesenswertes Porträt aus dem Jahre 2000 und der Zeitschrift Jazzthetik….

Thanks to Greg Buium, liner notes writer of the Luminessence reissue of Paul Bley‘s „Open, to love“, who sent me the screenshots …

I met Annette Peacock in Munich (in the summer of 2000), and she told me, at one point, about sensitive moments in the production. Once, in the morning, she felt her energy waning, couldn’t make the appointment, everything was up in the air. Manfred Eicher carefully knocked at her door. Helpful words, encouragement. It ended well. Fortunately. By the way, she never got together with Brian Eno (they would have made an interesting pair in the studio), but once, early in the seventies, he lent her a wonderful pair of old horn loudspeakers, she fell in love with their sound and never gave them back. Here‘s the old interview. Life‘s backward glance.
