Hush! captures pianist and composer Duke Pearson at the height of his lyrical powers, leading a tight quintet with the ever-melodic Donald Byrd on trumpet. Originally recorded in the early 1960s, this smooth and understated hard bop session flows with elegance and warmth, a testament to Pearson's gift for mood and melody.
The set includes standout originals like Byrd’s “Hush!” and “Child’s Play,” along with soulful interpretations of standards like “Angel Eyes” and “Out Of This World.” Quietly captivating and immaculately arranged, this red vinyl reissue is a must-have for collectors of sophisticated, mid-century jazz.
