Short List: Jazz Women – The Instrumentalists (Annette Peacock) 
The individualist composer-pianist-singer Annette Peacock was the wife of bassist Gary Peacock at a young age in the early 1960s. She became a typical bohemian artist living in Greewnich Village in New York, even to the extent of using drugs directly from Dr. Timothy Leary. She began a musical relationship with the avant-garde pianist Paul Bley in the mid-1960s and would eventually marry him. Together they received an early version of the Moog synthesizer from its inventor. Using the Moog to alter her voice, they went on the road with the Bley-Peacock Synthesizer Show. Her first album, I’m The One, is a classic from 1972. Peacock would influence several generations of pop singers including David Bowie.
