about

This album, my first, is dedicated to the memory of my father, Dr. Robert W. Pearson, the only family member with whom I could speak and share the language of jazz harmony and theory. My father's retirement from his general surgery and family practice in 1985 coincided with my own transition from purely classical music to jazz. As I studied with various jazz teachers, my father requested copies of lesson notes, handouts and tapes. Although my father was a cellist, and majored in music at Harvard, he had always played piano by ear; mostly Gershwin and Porter. Amidst his own study of jazz harmony books, I helped him learn "hip" voicings. During his retirement, he studied with a Boston area jazz pianist and played in nursing homes in the Newburyport, MA area. By the end of his life, he had accumulated an impressive jazz library, which I treasure.
