Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

2.

Annette Peacock – I’m The One

Another killer voice, and this one was working with electronics in a way I never heard before, funk, horn sections combined in a new way…

Bloodthirsty sister, talking about love in living color… Nice… Mark Dresser, with whom, like Roberto Miranda, I was doing voice and bass duos, played her for me, when I was still performing piano primarily, and I was spellbound.

Shares a vibe with Miles Davis’ On The Corner, but is far more innovative, to my ears, and hit at 1972, which was earlier.

Of course she is a woman, like the great Carla Bley, so, you know… just a freak, right?

Yeah, the witch’s club. Women, homos, dykes, call it. Cage it.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Lord Spikeheart, Tom Ravenscroft
