Stanley Turrentine • Look Out!

 

Review by Steve Leggett

Although he is best known for his bluesy soul-jazz outings, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine's first Blue Note session as a leader was a much more traditional bop affair, and the resulting album, Look Out!, featuring a rhythm section of Horace Parlan on piano, George Tucker on bass, and Al Harewood on drums, shows as much artful restraint as it does groove. Not that this is a bad thing, since it allows Turrentine's big, clear tone to shine through in all its muscular sweetness, giving Look Out! a wonderful and flowing coherence. Among the highlights here are the pretty ballad "Journey Into Melody" and the gently funky "Little Sheri."

Reseña de Steve Leggett

Aunque es más conocido por sus salidas de soul-jazz blues, la primera sesión de Blue Note del saxofonista tenor Stanley Turrentine como líder fue un asunto mucho más tradicional del bop, y el álbum resultante, Look Out!, con una sección rítmica de Horace Parlan en el piano, George Tucker en el bajo y Al Harewood en la batería, muestra tanto la contención artística como el groove. No es que esto sea algo malo, ya que permite que el gran y claro tono de Turrentine brille en toda su dulzura muscular, dando a Look Out! una maravillosa y fluida coherencia. Entre lo más destacado aquí están la bonita balada "Journey Into Melody" y la suavemente funky "Little Sheri".
