-The simmering groove of the 10-minute opening title track of Duke Pearson’s magnificent 1968 album The Phantom sets the stage for one of the most under-recognized gems of the Blue Note catalog. 

-The pianist, composer, arranger, and Blue Note stalwart assembled a superb cast of musicians including vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, flutist Jerry Dodgion, guitarists Sam Brown and Al Gafa, bassist Bob Cranshaw and the magnificent percussion team of Mickey Roker, Victor Pantojo and “Potato” Valdes on drums and congas. 

-Other highlights include the crisp bossa beat of “Los Ojos Alegres (The Happy Eyes)” and the tender “Say You’re Mine,” which first appeared on Donald Byrd’s album The Cat Walk.

皮爾森公爵，偉大的爵士鋼琴家和作曲家。Allmusic將他描述為“在1960年代的唱片製作領域中，塑造Blue Note標籤的硬式咆哮偉業方向的無可勿視時代旗手”....
 
皮爾森出生於亞特蘭大。他的叔叔給他起了綽號“公爵”， 叔叔是艾靈頓公爵的忠實仰慕者。在他6歲之前，他的母親開始給他上鋼琴課。他一直喜愛鑽研樂器，到12歲，他對銅管樂器產生了興趣，他非常喜歡小號，以至於在高中和大學時都忽略了鋼琴。他參加了Clark學院同時仍專注演奏小號。及至他與鋼琴家溫頓•凱利Wynton Kelly等人接觸後，他開始鍾情於鋼琴。皮爾森本人在1959年的一次採訪中承認，他“被凱利的美妙鋼琴琴音迷住了”，從此他決定成為真正深研鋼琴的樂手...樂壇也真正見識到一位高超的鋼琴家與編曲家的雙重時代角色重量級大師...
