“Angel Eyes” Duke Pearson, pianist, arranger, producer and Blue Note A&R man though most of the sixties is one of those great under-recognized Jazz musicians that always delivers. Here’s the original 1968 UK Polydor label release.   Recorded in New York on August the 1st, 1961 with Thomas Howard [bass] and Lex Humphries [drums] and with Bob Cranshaw [bass] and Walter Perkins [drums] on January the 12th, 1962.   Oh and this is pretty cool cover too!   Includes the Pearson-penned jazz standard “Jeannine,” “Angel Eyes” and I’m An Old Cowhand / Say You’re Mine / Le Carrousel / Exodus / Bags’ Groove / Say You’re Mine.

This one is hard to get right now, but if you don’t already have them, get “Wahoo,” “Sweet Honey Bee,” “Honey Buns” and “Sweet Prairie Dog” and check out his work on sessions for Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard, Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan and most of the Blue Note roster of hard boppers. Here’s the “other Duke’s” DISCOGRAPHY

Here’s my copy of Esquerita! (1959)   Capitol Records   Esquerita was an obvious influence on Little Richard.   Like Richard, a flaming, shrieking, piano-pounding rock and roll originator.   Amazing that he was on Capitol records with label mates like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Peggy Lee.   I put this one in a nice wood frame I found in a Berkeley record shop.

Tracks include:   Hey Miss Lucy / She Left Me Crying / Hole In My Heart / Believe Me When I Say Rock ‘n’ Roll / I Need You / Why Did It Take You So Long / Get Back Baby / I’m Batty over Hattie / Gettin’ Plenty of Lovin’
