Now Hear This is the thirteenth album by American pianist and arranger
Duke Pearson. It features
big band performances recorded in 1968 and released on the
Blue Note label.[1]
Reception
The
Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Duke Pearson returned to a big band setting for Now Hear This!, once again proving his agility and inventiveness as an arranger and leader... Even if much of this music is beautiful, Pearson's arrangements take chances and are unconventional, which means it rewards close listening as well".[2]
