The Right Touch is a laid back groover from Duke Pearson, taking full advantage of an octet setting of Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Garnett Brown (trombone), James Spaulding (alto sax), Jerry Dodgion (alto sax & flute), Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax), Gene Taylor (bass), and Grady Tate (drums). All of the delightful compositions are by Pearson, who tickles the ivories with bouncy perfection. What to say about the rest of his cohorts, other than `outstanding'? The songs are all well constructed, precise, but not boringly so. "Chili Peppers" is a perfect opener, fast and airy, with that Latin tinge. "My Love Waits (O Meu Amor Espera)" was written while Pearson and the lady who later became his wife were living in separate cities. The sense of longing is palpable in this divinely beautiful love song that needs no words to convey its emotional impact. "Los Malos Hombres" (The Bad Men) is another Latin flavored piece, taken at a quick pace. Dig those unison horns! My fave piece has to be the bluesy "Scrap Iron". Pearson's got some great licks on this one and Turrentine's tone is somehow mournful and joyous at the same time, just the way the blues should be. Jack Baker
