Duke Pearson – I Don't Care Who Knows It (recorded 1968 -1970)
A fabulous session which was shelved by Blue Note, inexplicably! until 1996 when they released 6 of the
tracks on Vinyl and a later CD release had all 11 session Tracks.
Word is, it has just been released in its entirety, all 11 tracks for the first time on Double Vinyl 180gsm and all that audiophile from tapes jive. It is due out Now if not out already, Limited edition only 1000 world wide press.

Anyway it's on the streaming services and is just a wonderful set. From the funky title Track feat, Andy Bey
to full Brazilian work outs. I think the only reason it was shelved for so long was Blue Note didn't know how to market it in 1970 being such an eclectic recording

postscript to this record: Being a nerd, I have access to a pdf of Blue Note's A&R man, Duke Pearson's personal session note book and this session is in there spread over a few pages. Very interesting view for the anoraks. a sample of a couple of pages below:

Just 'discovered' or rather finally paid proper attention to a time in music that I'd always adored, 50s/60s Jazz. Been buying quite a lot of Blue Note cds off Ebay, after advice that the Ron McMaster remastered ones from the 80s were the best. Current stand out favourite is Horace silver 'Song for my father', Art Blakey - Moanin, Cannon ball adderly - something else, Sonny Rollins - Newks time - track 3 'Wonderful wonderful!'. Finally hearing Lee Morgan 'Sidewinder' properly, its much more laid back and sophisticated than I'd remembered. And an absolute revelation on CD is 'Out to Lunch' (Eric Dolphy), it puts my cheapo vinyl reissue in the shade to put it mildly, love this LP, and this CD version is an absolute joy.
