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
Enjoy.
-
1. Duke Pearson - Big Bertha (5:57)
2. Duke Pearson - Christo Redentor (3:54)
3. Duke Pearson - ESP (Extrasensory Perception) (7:51)
4. Duke Pearson - Horn In (5:53)
5. Duke Pearson - Los Malos Hombres (6:36)
6. Duke Pearson - Mississippi Dip (2:35)
7. Duke Pearson - Scrap Iron (5:24)
8. Duke Pearson - Soulin' (7:02)
9. Duke Pearson - Straight Up And Down (6:59)
10. Duke Pearson - The Fakir (5:18)

I totally love her, but this one I've never heard/seen before...If you want I can up a few (6) titles to you too.
Aherm, back to rockcitygentlemen.
