A Closer View is an album by American jazz bassist Gary Peacock and guitarist Ralph Towner recorded in 1995 and released on the ECM label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Leo Stanley awarded the album 3 stars stating "A Closer View finds Ralph Towner working with Gary Peacock, crafting a subtle, textured instrumental album that relies more on compositions than improvisations. Occasionally, it all gets a little too static and colorless, but the best moments are fluid, engaging and graceful".[2]
