STANLEY TURRENTINE 4.5.1939--9.12.2000

--"You find him ubiquitously all over every Blue Note release from the '60s. This was the sensual, chunky tenor player who preceded that pop-jazz era and still had some serious jazz chops underneath it. When women say 'I love saxophone,' this is the archetypal guy: one of those real sensual, breathy, full-toned, funky-ass players." --Was (Not Was) cofounder/jazz critic David Was ESSENTIAL WORK That's Where It's At (1962); The Spoiler (1966)
