...BAND (Blue Note). Pianist-Arranger Pearson, whose previous records featured smaller groups, has gathered 15 solid players in order to amplify his musical ideas. Straight Up and Down is a tidy blend of high-flying exuberance and smooth delivery (note the trumpet's sassy quote of Sweet Georgia Brown and the baritone sax's sly paraphrase of Once I Had a Secret Love). While Mississippi Dip is a blues to be taken lithely, A Taste of Honey switches tempos faster than the foot can follow, building to heated ensemble crescendos behind Frank Foster's tenor and Jerry...

But it does not come naturally to a fellow who was born Philip Yarbrough (his assumed name, he says, "sounds better") in Georgia on the edge of Okefenokee swamp. What did come naturally, though, was the sound of music. At an early age, he was conducting a fantasy disk-jockey show at home, playing his favorites-gospel and country, Eddie Fisher and the Four Aces. By junior year in high school...
