Duke Pearson—pianist, composer, A&R man and producer at Blue Note in the 60s—worked mainly in hard bop or soul jazz genres, combining blues, soul, and boogaloo influences. Here’s an album of tunes Pearson wrote or produced during that period, rearranged and interpreted by Swingadelic, an 11-piece bar band from Hoboken, NJ. This isn’t “artsy” jazz; it’s got a soulful 60s groove—fun and easy to like.

All instrumental. No FCC issues.

1. ** Upbeat, soulful, and swinging. Piano, trumpet, and electric guitar have bluesy licks. So tasty, I had to wipe off my chin with a napkin. Mid-fast. (4:05)
2. ** Fast with cha cha beat. Flute sounds nice. Soulful sax solo and rockin guitar solo. (5:43)
3. ** Hot, sexy, and spiritual. Like you’re sweating in church. Compare to Donald Byrd’s (trumpet), Harvey Mandel’s (guitar), and Jeff Lederer’s (sax) versions. Slow. (5:19)
4. ** Up-tempo, cheerful, and melodic. Baritone sax and trombone have good solos. (5:18)
5. Brassy, sassy, almost burlesque. Big, loud, brash boogaloo. Fast. (4:34)
6. * Happy toe-tapper with cha cha beat. Features flute and electric piano. Mid-tempo. (4:34)
7. * By Donald Byrd. Bluesy shuffle features trumpet, baritone sax, and piano. Mid-tempo. (5:42)
8. * Up-tempo and very swingin’. Features lots of trombone. (4:00)
9. * Up-tempo and swingin’. Features upright bass, trumpet, and alto sax, each with good solo work. (3:46)
10. * Big and bold. Features lots of sassy trombone and brash trumpets. Mid-tempo. (4:01)
