Mark Stryker Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 (edited) I have always read that Don Pullen played organ/piano with Arthur Prysock and wrote arrangements for him -- but I had never found any recorded examples of this until today, when I found Prysock's 1969 LP "Where the Soul Trees Grow" (King Records) at Peoples' Records in Detroit. Pullen is listed as the arranger in the credits, but no other personnel is given. Of course, the record is on YouTube. Pyrsock sounds great on this record and I dig the soulful vibe of the charts and some surprising repertoire choices. While we're on the subject, does anyone know other recorded examples of Pullen as an soul/R&B sideman?
