Stanley Turrentine

Sugar
Anyone interested in hearing Stanley Turrentine go beyond the Blue Note should definitely pick up Sugar; a soulful, deep and chugging record that includes a refined "Sugar" and a transcendent rendition of Coltrane's "Impressions". Working with fellow CTI artists Freddie Hubbard and George Benson, as well as the great Lonnie Liston Smith jr, Ron Carter and Billy Kaye, this album was engineered by Rudy Van Gelder to create the warmth and depth we love. Some say never judge a book by its cover, but…
Look Out!
*2024 stock* "Although he is best known for his bluesy soul-jazz outings, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine's first Blue Note session as a leader was a much more traditional bop affair, and the resulting album... shows as much artful restraint as it does groove. Not that this is a bad thing, since it allows Turrentine's big, clear tone to shine through in all its muscular sweetness, giving Look Out! a wonderful and flowing coherence" - Steve Leggett
Up At Minton’s
A very welcomed reissue of this long out of print and hard to find Turrentine's Live album. Originally released on Blue Note as two separate volumes, "Up at Mintons' catches the Stanley Turrentine quintet live at the mythical Minton Club in NY, in 1961, when the tenor saxophonist was leading a super tight quintet featuring Grant Green - guitar, Horace Parlan - piano, George Tucker - bass and Al Harewood - drums. This is hard swinging soulful Jazz at its Best!
