Oracle is an album by American jazz bassist Gary Peacock and guitarist Ralph Towner recorded in 1993 and released on the ECM label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "there is a surprising amount of ferocious interplay between the two musicians. They may play at a consistently low volume, but the set of originals has a few rather passionate grooves and a little more energy than one would have predicted".[2]
