Duke Pearson • Honeybuns

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This 1998 Koch CD reissues a Duke Pearson LP from 1966, containing music from the previous year. Other than "Our Love" (a familiar classical theme adapted to American pop music by Larry Clinton), all six selections are originals by the pianist. Utilizing a nonet that includes trumpeter Johnny Coles (who does his best to be soulful on "Honeybuns"), trombonist Garnett Brown, flutist Les Spann, altoist James Spaulding, tenor saxophonist George Coleman, baritonist Pepper Adams, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Mickey Roker, Pearson performs music in a style that would have fit in quite well on Blue Note. Most memorable among his originals is "Is That So." This is not an essential date, but it is nice to have this rarity back in print again.

Este CD de Koch de 1998 reedita un LP de Duke Pearson de 1966, que contiene música del año anterior. Aparte de "Our Love" (un tema clásico familiar adaptado a la música pop americana por Larry Clinton), las seis selecciones son originales del pianista. Utilizando un noneto que incluye al trompetista Johnny Coles (que hace todo lo posible por ser conmovedor en "Honeybuns"), el trombonista Garnett Brown, el flautista Les Spann, el contralto James Spaulding, el saxofonista tenor George Coleman, el baritonista Pepper Adams, el bajista Bob Cranshaw y el baterista Mickey Roker, Pearson interpreta música en un estilo que habría encajado bastante bien en Blue Note. Lo más memorable entre sus originales es "Is That So". No se trata de una cita imprescindible, pero es agradable volver a tener esta rareza en imprenta.
