Albums» Stanley Turrentine: Blue Note Stanley Turrentine Qt./Sxt. Sessions (#212) [5CD Boxset]

(~mosaic records)
Blue Note Stanley Turrentine Quintet/Sextet Sessions (#212)

Strong, Bluesy and Soulful.
"The six Blue Note dates collected on our new Mosaic set are in a class by themselves; they are pure hard bop in the selection and treatment of the material and in instrumentation with Stanley Turrentine sharing the front line with a trumpet player or trombonist equal to him in talent. We're delighted to offer these excellent but overlooked hard bop sessions."

"The six albums collected herein, finds Turrentine working in settings that epitomize Blue Note's norm of two or three horns in the front line, straight-ahead grooves, and a focus on original material and the complementary voices of the featured musicians." - Bob Blumenthal, liner notes
