Partners (Paul Bley & Gary Peacock album)

Partners is an album by pianist Paul Bley and bassist Gary Peacock recorded in New York in 1989 and released on the French label Owl in 1991.

Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "by the time this duo session was recorded, one could expect that a certain degree of musical empathy would be in play. And yes, here there is plenty of the give and take of two old friends who do not go along with the mainstream jazz program. Yet one could also call this an album of twin monologues, for ten of the 15 tracks here are solo improvisations for each player".
