Duke Pearson: Four Classic Albums (Tender Feelins / Byrd In Flight / Profile / Hush) (2CD)
Ref: AMSC1198
£5.49
(UK Postage Free )
Quantity:
AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic album series with a re-mastered 2CD release by Duke Pearson, complete with original artwork and liner notes.
Tender Feelins; Byrd In Flight; Profile and Hush
Another child protégé, Duke Pearson (yes the Duke does come from his uncles favourite film star John Duke Wayne .only joking, it is of course from the great Duke Ellington !), began piano lessons at six. However by 12 he had stopped them in favour of the trumpet, sax and mellophone. In fact so enamoured was he of the trumpet he would go on to play it through college and during his draft in the Army. It was while in the army that he met pianist Wynton Kelly and was so inspired by his playing that he immediately decided to switch back to the ivories. This did of course necessitate learning the instrument he had abandoned years ago practically all over again! Dukes early career would include playing with R&B acts like Little Willie John before moving to New York in 1959 where he met trumpeter Donald Byrd. Byrd would use some of Dukes compositions and he and Duke would play regularly on each others albums, including one of our featured sets, Byrd In Flight. Other artists Duke Pearson would play with include Nancy Wilson, Pepper Adams, Art Farmer and Benny Golson. In his later career Duke would become head of A&R at Blue Note from 1963-1970 where he would also become an influential producer as well as regular session musician and release many more of his own albums.
