Duke Pearson • The Right Touch

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Duke Pearson rises to the challenge of writing for an all-star octet (with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, trombonist Garnett Brown, altoist James Spaulding, Jerry Dodgion on alto and flute, Stanley Turrentine on tenor, bassist Gene Taylor, drummer Grady Tate, and the leader/pianist), contributing colorful frameworks and consistently challenging compositions. The set is full of diverse melodies (the CD reissue has a previously unissued take of "Los Malos Hombres") played by a variety of distinctive soloists; many of these songs deserve to be revived. This is one of the finest recordings of Duke Pearson's career.

Crítica de Scott Yanow
Duke Pearson se enfrenta al reto de escribir para un octeto de estrellas (con el trompetista Freddie Hubbard, el trombonista Garnett Brown, el contralto James Spaulding, Jerry Dodgion en el contralto y la flauta, Stanley Turrentine en el tenor, el bajista Gene Taylor, el baterista Grady Tate, y el líder/pianista), aportando coloridos marcos y composiciones consistentemente desafiantes. El conjunto está lleno de melodías diversas (la reedición en CD contiene una toma inédita de "Los Malos Hombres") interpretadas por una variedad de solistas distintivos; muchas de estas canciones merecen ser revividas. Se trata de una de las mejores grabaciones de la carrera de Duke Pearson.
