The funny thing about Stanley Turrentine is that he's got his own unmistakenly distinguishable sound, as young as I was in the 1970s I could hear that it was him playing and knew that it was him. What a great soulful saxophonist he was!!! Thanks.
I grew up on Stanley and the thing my dad taught me about him was that he was organic soul. It was pure and part of his being and it always came out in his playing. He was the prototype for the sound concept of CTI records.
Stan the Man Turrentine...in my opinion the best tenor player around. All you haters don't get excited... that's my opinion, live with it!! RIP Stanley.
These levels of musicianship do not allow for concepts like "better" or "worse" any more. Is Stanley Turrentine better than Michael Brecker? Is Brecker better than Coltrane? Is Coltrane better than Wayne Shorter, Shorter better than Bob Berg, Berg better than Dexter Gordon? I simply cannot tell. I do think that at a certain level categories like these do not make sense any more.

Saw Mr. T at Yoshi's in Oakland a few months before he passed away.... one of my treasured evenings... Love this man and his very cool and inspiring sound... phrasing... it's all there... Wow... nice to hear him again in this terrific collection.... Bravo Mr. T.
This is the sh*t! God that unmistakable tone and those super tasty lines...the one and only. We used to play "Sugar" in a band I was in. I haven't heard any Stanley in so many years. What a gem. Forget all the double-timer technicians out there. This is how a tenor is supposed to sound.
That's so true! And when you go backto legendslike Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster you can really hear the difference: the elders made the instrument come alive😍
It's quite frustrating that there seems to be so few videos of Stanley. I have no idea why this is, but I look frequently, and rarely find any. He was out playing all the time, I wonder why so few recorded him....
It's beyond me... in my opinion Stanley was the best. His phrasing was brilliant and uniquely his, a mix of blues and bop. I have about 10 of his cds and a couple vinyls. RIP Stanley.
@@kazire4591 Huh??? So you actually believe there's not many videos of him because he's "not as creative as many others"? That's quite a stretch. I see tons of videos of players who can't hold a candle to him, I doubt you can draw any conclusions as to someone's level of creativity by their numbers of TH-cam videos, that's a new one on me. And he was an influence on many players, including myself, and even Michael Brecker named him as one of his, so he must have had something unique going for him. And in this age of tons of players, who one can't tell from the other, just having a sound & style is a great accomplishment in itself. How many cats can you recognize just by a hearing a few notes?

Well stated, I agree.

In case you guys haven't noticed, the older Jazz musicians have much better taste than the newer ones! Stanley was one of the Legends truly
That's so true! And when you go backto legendslike Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster you can really hear the difference: the elders made the instrument come alive😍
Yes, the kids are not getting it. Too wrapped up in chops.
when you transcribe stanley turrentines solos you then realise how great he was ,phenominal player.
Stanley Turrentine was a beautiful tenor saxophonist😍
I listen to Stanle\y everyday on midnight blue with Kenny Burrel.
My favourite cd,
I agree... the best.
Sound and style are uniquely Stanley's.
Wanted to watch all 7 but the first one killed me.
Extremely awesome
Whoooo! the #3 is fantastic!
The king of soul tenor saxophone never a bad note
Thanks for that footage. Great playing.

You actually did it
The shy Giant
0 Dislikes for Stanley!!!
can you tell George Adams to stop taking photos of me?
I will tell him
oh yes
Yeah that's the Blues
Yes Stanley definitely had a lot of Hello soul
gauranteed to make the hairs on your neck stand up - legend .
all of them
Anybody know what Stan's setup was in the first 2 videos? Looked like a nickel plated tenor and an Otto Link. But I want to know! Thanks for any help
Do you have any jazz messengers bootlegs?
Damn
Fabulous
Stanley's. Salt. Song album on the cti label is one of my favorites. How about horace parlans on the spur of the moment with brother Tommy on trumpet.
SUGAR !!!!
