Introducing Duke Pearson's Big Band is the eleventh album by American pianist and arranger Duke Pearson, featuring big band performances recorded in 1967 and released on the Blue Note label.[1] The album was rereleased with six bonus tracks from Now Hear This, Pearson's 1968 big band recording, on a single CD in 1998.
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars stating, "[Pearson's] originals are continually unpredictable and memorable, and his arrangements, especially of the standards, are provocative and intriguing. While it might not appeal to fans of Pearson's wonderful small-group hard bop sessions, it is unquestionably an experiment that works, and one that confirms his remarkable skills and talents."[2]
