Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is known for many things, not the least of which is turning out jazz talent like Billy Strayhorn, Jeff "Tain" Watts, and Stanley Turrentine. Turrentine was one of the prime tenor players, with an approach of combining bebop with aspects of gospel and r&b, giving birth to soul-jazz. T TIME is a session from the mid-1990's, with Mister T (the original!) accompanied by some fine players, the then-new names of Kenny Drew Jr. and Dave Stryker. T TIME is gutsy, down-to-earth jazz from one of the masters.
Tracklist
Stanley Turrentine
Tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine possesses a big, slightly raw tone, and a powerful sense of swing, but is also quite at home with subtle expressions of tenderness. He achieved considerable success in the '60s working live and recording with Jimmy Smith and later, Shirley Scott. Together, they provided some of the finest examples of the tenor/organ soul-funk-jazz approach.
