Stanley Turrentine is one of my favorite musicians and is another sax player that is somewhat overlooked. This album recorded in 1960 by Mr VanGelder is a treasure and is very well recorded. With Horace parlan on piano, George Tucker on bass and Al Harewood on drums Mr Turrentine plays some really lively bop jazz that sounds excellent on a good hi-fi system. I love to listen to this album as it really makes my humble system shine but more importantly the session is full of energy and really is a pleasure to listen to.
