After military service in Germany , in the early sixties he worked on the west coast with Barney Kessell , Bud Shank , Paul Bley and Art Pepper , then moved to New York . He worked there with Bley, the Bill Evans trio (with Paul Motian ), and Albert Ayler 's trio with Sunny Murray . There were also some live dates with Miles Davis , as a temporary substitute for Ron Carter . Peacock spent time in Japan in the late 1960s, abandoning music temporarily and studying Zen philosophy. After returning to the United States in 1972 , he studied Biology at the University Of Washington in Seattle , and taught music theory at Cornish College Of The Arts from 1976 to 1983 . In 1983 he joined Keith Jarrett 's "Standards Trio" with Jack DeJohnette (the three musicians had previously recorded ''Tales of Another'' in 1977 for ECM Records , under Peacock's leadership). The trio continues to perform and record. |
