Introducing the Duke Pearson Big Band was a strong album. I also happen to be a fan of Horace's United States of Mind albums, although that seems to be a controversial subject.
My wife "gets him" too! We've seen the Cookers a lot and she always enjoys the show, especially Billy.
I've been seeing him and getting his albums since I first saw him with Max in the late 70s. Never disappointed!
I like the set a lot, too. You don't see very much discussion about it, surprisingly.
I haven't listened to it in a while. Might do that this weekend. Thanks for the reminder!
