Following her acclaimed partnership with tenor saxophonist Eddie
"Lockjaw" Davis during the late '50s, organist Shirley Scott took her
art to the next level when she teamed with tenor great Stanley
Turrentine. Scott and Turrentine had chemistry. They shared an acute
sense of dynamics and had an ability to create space for each other. The
electrifying result is nowhere more apparent than on the lean, powerful
soul-jazz of this set recorded in Newark, NJ, in 1964. Scott plays with
a clean, driving, razor-sharp, single-note attack. She uses full-voiced
chordal work sparingly. This makes the punch all the more potent and
dramatic when she does unload with both hands. Turrentine, who was
married to Scott at this time, phrases with authority and imagination.
He is soulful, musical, and a great listener. Drummer Otis "Candy" Finch
punctuates his straight-down-the-middle style with deft accents and use
of color. Bassist Bob Cranshaw at times blends with Scott, playing
notes that are more felt than heard. Elsewhere, his walking style
contributes important textures to the overall sound. When this double LP
came out in 1978, two sides had previously been unissued, and the other
two had been released as the LP Queen of the Organ. Since then, nine of
the ten tracks have been released on a CD also entitled Queen of the
Organ. "Shirley's Shuffle" is the one track dropped due to space
limitations. It must have been agonizing having to decide what to leave
off this phenomenal date from one of the finest organ and tenor sax
pairings ever. Jim Todd

Tras su aclamada asociación con el saxofonista tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis a finales de los años 50, la organista Shirley Scott llevó su arte al siguiente nivel cuando se asoció con el gran tenor Stanley Turrentine. Scott y Turrentine tenían química. Compartían un agudo sentido de la dinámica y tenían la capacidad de crear espacio para el otro. El electrizante resultado no es más evidente que en el poderoso soul-jazz de este set grabado en Newark, NJ, en 1964. Scott toca con un ataque limpio y afilado de una sola nota. Utiliza con moderación el trabajo de acordes a toda voz. Esto hace que el golpe sea aún más potente y dramático cuando descarga con ambas manos. Turrentine, que estaba casado con Scott en esta época, frasea con autoridad e imaginación. Es conmovedor, musical y un gran oyente. El baterista Otis "Candy" Finch acentúa su estilo directo con acentos hábiles y el uso del color. El bajista Bob Cranshaw a veces se mezcla con Scott, tocando notas que se sienten más que se oyen. En otros lugares, su estilo de caminar contribuye a las texturas importantes del sonido general. Cuando este doble LP salió a la luz en 1978, dos caras no habían sido editadas previamente, y las otras dos habían sido publicadas como el LP Queen of the Organ. Desde entonces, nueve de los diez temas se han publicado en un CD también titulado Queen of the Organ. "Shirley's Shuffle" es el único tema que se eliminó debido a las limitaciones de espacio. Debió ser una agonía tener que decidir qué dejar fuera de esta fenomenal fecha de una de las mejores parejas de órgano y saxo tenor de la historia. Jim Todd
