The Stanley Turrentine Colection
Stanley Turrentine had already established his credentials as a lyrical and inventive bop and soul jazz saxophonist by the time his music found a much wider audience in the wake of his crossover hit with his own composition “Sugar” in 1970. Turrentine went on to enjoy several more such hits in a pop-jazz vein in the ensuing years, but returned to a straightahead jazz idiom in the late-80s. Whatever style he performed in, Turrentine was readily identifiable by his rich, full-bodied sound on tenor saxophone. This volume features note-for-note transcriptions of this gifted tenor saxophonist's playing on 14 terrific tunes, including the Turrentine-penned standard “Sugar”. God Bless' the Child
