42: Duke Pearson

Today I'd like to put a little sunshine on the work of Duke Pearson.

He wrote the song Christo Redentor,

and that is a most wonderful piece of music!

-

From these 6 albums (I put the fronts together in the pic)

I selected 10 songs for your listening pleasure.

-

If you'd have the money, you'd buy the Mosaic Select, vol.8 ...

-

Or you pick a few of his albums (much cheaper!) out of his

Blue Note discography.

Enjoy.
