Description
Soul-jazz legend Stanley Turrentine released this solid,
blues-drenched date in 1963. With help from trumpeter Blue
Mitchell, bassist Earl May, drummer Al Harewood, and organist
Shirley Scott (who was also Turrentine's wife), the leader steams
through five tunes that honor Count Basie, including One O'Clock
Jump and Blues in Hoss' Flat. The presence of Scott's organ, and
the soulful playing of Turrentine and Mitchell, give these takes on
big-band classics a fresh, groovy twist without losing any of the
requisite swing.
