He to me is the King of feel good, Bossa Nova Jazz, and I particularly like his crew selection, He made his name as being the pivotal sound in the bop sound of Blue Note, Van Gelder must have been thrilled mastering Duke Pearson because there really is no Jazz album like a Duke Pearson album you never forget his album especially The Phantom and Wahoo.
It's this eerie bop, like jiving in a haunted house
He gives you the impression he dances when he makes the album with an eternal smile on his face, Boy do I just want to hug him, when I listen.
One love and get off the music, certain Jazz musicians who enjoy their process, their music everything enter everything and their feeling is rightly handed down, You get why why he features Donald Byrd, Is hame he never got to make an album with Horace Silver, Both were kings ands leaders in quite in their own lanes, but it would have been amazing.
You describe a Duke Pearson as poignantly emblematic, songs like Empathy, Bedouin, Jeanine, and The Phantom album cement his legacy and genius.

These are the photos I could find of him, online
I would like very much for a documentary be made on this Maverick, Celestial of music, He was beyond time, beyond sound.
What a Man!
