The Right Touch is a high-quality audiophile vinyl reissue of the 1967 Blue Note jazz album by Duke Pearson, released as part of the Blue Note Tone Poet Series.

This edition presents Pearson’s most acclaimed work as a composer and arranger, featuring a rich 8-piece ensemble that includes heavyweights like Freddie Hubbard and Stanley Turrentine. The music blends hard bop, lyrical jazz, and subtle Latin influences across tightly crafted originals such as “Chili Peppers,” “Make It Good,” and “Scrap Iron.” The arrangements stand out for their warmth, clarity, and sophisticated orchestration, reflecting Pearson’s often underappreciated role in shaping the Blue Note sound of the late 1960s.

The Tone Poet pressing is especially valued by collectors because it is mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray and produced with a strong emphasis on audiophile-quality sound, spacious dynamics, and faithful reproduction of the original recording session atmosphere at Van Gelder Studio.

Overall, this reissue is considered one of the definitive ways to experience The Right Touch, both musically and sonically.
