Stanley Turrentine ‎• Let It Go

Review by Stephen Cook

For fans ready to graduate from Stanley Turrentine's many fine Blue Note sets, this excellent mid-'60s date on Impulse should be the perfect option. Joined by then-wife Shirley Scott on organ, Turrentine revels in a fine array of medium cookers, three of which came from his own pen. The covers are just as impressive, including a clutch of late-night blues and ballads from the standards canon ("Time After Time") and the Ellington ("The Feeling of Jazz") and Basie catalogs ("Sent for You Yesterday"). And making it all swing in the pocket, Turrentine and Scott get top-drawer support from bassists Ron Carter and Bob Cranshaw and drummers Mack Simpkins and Otis Finch. Enjoy.

Reseña de Stephen Cook

Para los fanáticos listos para graduarse de los muchos y finos sets de Blue Note de Stanley Turrentine, esta excelente cita de mediados de los 60 en Impulse debería ser la opción perfecta. Acompañado por su entonces esposa Shirley Scott en el órgano, Turrentine se deleita con una fina selección de cocinas medianas, tres de las cuales vinieron de su propia pluma. Las portadas son igual de impresionantes, incluyendo un puñado de blues nocturno y baladas del canon de los estándares ("Time After Time") y los catálogos de Ellington ("The Feeling of Jazz") y Basie ("Sent for You Yesterday"). Y haciendo que todo se balancee en el bolsillo, Turrentine y Scott reciben el apoyo de los bajistas Ron Carter y Bob Cranshaw y los bateristas Mack Simpkins y Otis Finch. Disfrútenlo.
