Stanley Turrentine created his own world of music. Every note that the instantly recognizable tenor giant played dripped with soul. No matter what setting he appeared in, from jazz organ combos to hard bop sextets, to funk and r&b ensembles to big bands, Mr. T. could be picked out within a couple of notes. Many of the sounds that emitted from his saxophone only could have come from Turrentine for it contained his soul. He was with Blue Note throughout the 1960s, recording two albums at Minton's Playhouse in 1961 when he was 26. While Vol. 1 is excellent, it serves as a warm up for the second album, which is a perfect example of Stanley Turrentine at his most inventive, melodic and soulful. Joined by Grant Green and the Horace Parlan Trio, Turrentine makes three standards ("Come Rain Or Come Shine," "Love For Sale" and "Summertime") sound fresh and new despite how often others have recorded them. The tunes sound different due to Turrentine's tone, placement of notes and his lyrical and emotional approach. He played songs his own way; there was only one Stanley Turrentine.

PREORDER - When it comes to playing powerful tenor solos full of the grit of life’s experiences mixed with joyful and optimistic shouts, Stanley Turrentine was Mr. Soul Jazz. Recognizable at any part of his career within two notes, Turrentine was in his own musical category no matter what the setting. A master at caressing melodies and making them his own, Turrentine, with his passionate musical personality, could turn any song into the blues. There is plenty of evidence of his brilliance throughout 1962’s Jubilee Shout, one of his most exciting recordings for Blue Note. Jubilee Shout, which has never sounded better than on this remastered LP, features Turrentine interacting with such notables as his brother trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, Sonny Clark and Kenny Burrell, performing both heartwarming renditions of ballads and soulful romp. Turrentine creates unforgettable statements on “My Ship,” “You Better Go Now” and “Jubilee Shout” that simply need to be heard. Even listeners who already own many Stanley Turrentine recordings have to consider their collection incomplete until they own Jubilee Shout. They will be blown away by the musical magic.
