Marilyn Crispell's ECM debut explores the unique sound-world of Annette Peacock's ballads.
Peacock's songs have provided almost a leitmotif at ECM through the decades, but the composer
herself feels that the renditions on Nothing Ever Was, Anyway are definitive, giving the
project her seal of approval with the guest vocal on "Dreams". Crispell woodshedded
in Woodstock with Peacock for months before the recording, selecting material and
fine-tuning interpretive possibilities. Gary Peacock and Paul Motian, of course,
helped to introduce Peacock's free ballad concept in the early 1960s when both
were both were members of the Paul Bley Trio. Nothing Ever Was, Anyway is a specially-priced
double album.
