Duke Pearson - Wahoo!

Recorded right around this time in 1964. I didn't know Pearson was Blue Note's A&R man, just that he appeared on (or arranged) lots of other Blue Note LPs.

Anyway, this is accessible and exuberant, and features Donald Byrd (trumpet) and Joe Henderson (tenor), some flute work by James Spaulding (alto, too), Bob Crenshaw (bass) and Mickey Roker (drums).
