Stanley Turrentine - Concentrate On You
Stanley Turrentine Concentrate On You Elektra E-46533 (1979) Stanley Turrentine (1934-2000) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and record producer. He began his career playing R&B for Earl Bostic and later soul jazz recording for the Blue Note label from 1960, touching on jazz fusion during a stint on CTI in the 1970s. He was described by critic Steve Huey as "renowned for his distinctively thick, rippling tone [and] earthy grounding in the blues." In the 1960s Turrentine was married to organist Shirley Scott, with whom he frequently recorded, and he was the younger brother of trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, with whom he also recorded. This 45 from the late 70s was a mellow jazz-funk styled recording, the copy in my collection being a US radio station promo featuring the track in mono and stereo. FLAC
