Stanley Turrentine • Rough 'N' Tumble

 

 



Review
by Jason Elias  
In the mid- to late '60s, Blue Note was beginning to take on the affectations of funk and a new kind of "cool." For the most part, Turrentine steers clear of that style, and Rough 'n' Tumble is a pretty straight-ahead set, especially for 1966. "And Satisfy" and "Feelin' Good" typify the comfortable sessions, and both show off Turrentine's trademark tasteful playing. To its credit, Rough 'n' Tumble isn't rife with covers of songs that were doomed to be ephemeral, and Turrentine tackled two of the more lasting songs. His cover of Sam Cooke's "Shake" adheres closely to the original. Bacharach and David no doubt figured into jazz albums of the time, and "Walk On By" gets a suitably downcast reading here. The album's final track, the intricate "Baptismal," seems to get most of Turrentine's attention, and the song is perfect for his emotional yet poised playing technique. Rough 'n' Tumble features a great lineup of players, including Pepper Adams, Blue Mitchell, and McCoy Tyner. Rough 'n' Tumble isn't exactly a scintillating effort, but it is fun for the listener to hear Tyner and guitarist Grant Green nudging the genre toward the future, especially on "What Could I Do Without You." Of course, the star of the show is Turrentine, and his warmth and playing make this a necessity, especially for fans '60s pre-funk Blue Note jazz.

Reseña
por Jason Elias  
A mediados y finales de los 60, Blue Note empezaba a adoptar las afectaciones del funk y un nuevo tipo de "cool". En su mayor parte, Turrentine se mantiene alejado de ese estilo, y Rough 'n' Tumble es un conjunto bastante directo, especialmente para 1966. "And Satisfy" y "Feelin' Good" tipifican las sesiones cómodas, y ambas muestran el buen gusto de Turrentine al tocar. En su haber, Rough 'n' Tumble no está plagado de versiones de canciones condenadas a ser efímeras, y Turrentine abordó dos de las canciones más duraderas. Su versión de "Shake" de Sam Cooke se adhiere fielmente a la original. Bacharach y David figuraban sin duda en los álbumes de jazz de la época, y "Walk On By" recibe aquí una lectura adecuadamente abatida. La pista final del álbum, la intrincada "Baptismal", parece acaparar la mayor parte de la atención de Turrentine, y la canción es perfecta para su emotiva pero equilibrada técnica interpretativa. Rough 'n' Tumble cuenta con un gran elenco de músicos, como Pepper Adams, Blue Mitchell y McCoy Tyner. Rough 'n' Tumble no es exactamente un trabajo brillante, pero es divertido para el oyente escuchar a Tyner y al guitarrista Grant Green dar un empujón al género hacia el futuro, especialmente en "What Could I Do Without You". Por supuesto, la estrella del espectáculo es Turrentine, y su calidez y forma de tocar hacen de este disco una necesidad, especialmente para los fans del jazz pre-funk de los 60 de Blue Note.
