Tracks list

This 1961 live date from the legendary (and now-defunct) New York City jazz club
is one of saxophonist Stanley Turrentines finest. Stanleys Tune is a stately
blues number that fits perfectly into the hard-bop style, and here Turrentines
solo is raucous at times, almost percussive in its delivery. Later at Mintons
continues in the blues tradition, with a leisurely pace and solos that are
decidedly relaxed and funky. On this track, the smoky timbre of Turrentines horn
is particularly reminiscent of the great Coleman Hawkins.

Love for Sale (at almost 15 minutes, the longest track on UP AT MINTONS) begins
with a tricky 12/8 Latin feel, then morphs (rather slyly) into an up-tempo bebop
groove. Summertime, is played as a bluesy ballad, with Turrentines solo
beginning with a series of long tones, then building to a sudden, but
well-placed, flurry of notes. The backing band is also quite creative
throughout, and, not surprisingly, guitarist Grant Green shines on each track.
