Stanley Turrentine – Common Touch (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Pittsburgh-bred tenor man Turrentine came up through the hard bop ranks, cutting his teeth with Max Roach before becoming one of Blue Note's most soulfully direct voices in the 1960s. His pairing with Shirley Scott here draws on a deep well, the two had recorded together extensively and shared a musical intuition that goes beyond sideman chemistry. For fans who know their way around the organ-tenor groove tradition, this one rewards close listening.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine imbued every note he played with feeling and soul. His lesser-known 1968 classic, Common Touch, featured organist Shirley Scott, guitarist Jimmy Ponder, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Leo Morris (aka Idris Muhammad). Highlights include the groovy "Buster Brown" and the slow burn of "Lonely Avenue." Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes.
