Bernard Peacock

Bernard (Bernie) Peacock is a clarinettist and saxophonist Alto states-unien. It was born the June 2nd 1921 with Columbia in the Tennessee.

Its professional path begins in 1938. It belongs at the time in various formations of Strait and Chicago before appearing in the orchestra of the singer Jimmy Raschel of which also make part Wardell Gray and Howard McGhee (1942).

After its Military service (1942-1945), it passes successively in the formations of Don Redman (1945), Lucky Millinder (1946), Jimmie Lunceford, Lionel Hampton, Cab Calloway (1947), Count Basie (1948). He briefly knows a certain notoriety in the Fifties thanks to the rythm and blues. This short period of success gives him access to the studios of recording for meetings under its name and in accompaniment of high-speed motorboats like Bull Moose Jackson and Ruth Brown. Its career is abruptly stopped following a road accident. The spirit of Peacock is a style of very expressive saxophone, with the rough sound and the chaotic flow a little with the manner of Earl Bostic.
