During its history, Mosaic has compiled many box sets dealing with the classic
Blue Note years. Its five-CD Stanley Turrentine box is a bit unusual in that it
groups together six albums (five from 1961-1964 and one from 1969) that are only
a small percentage of Mr. Ts 1960s output for the label. While he recorded in
quartets, on many dates with organist Shirley Scott (his wife during the era),
and with larger groups, these albums (Comin Your Way, Jubilee Shout, A Chip Off
the Old Block, In Memory Of, Mr. Natural, and Another Story) all team him with
one or two other horn players. Turrentine, a soulful tenor who had a distinctive
sound of his own no matter what the setting, is primarily heard playing
straight-ahead jazz. His sidemen include brother Tommy Turrentine, Blue
Mitchell, Lee Morgan, and Thad Jones on trumpets, Tom McIntosh and Curtis Fuller
on trombones, pianists Horace Parlan, Sonny Clark, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner,
and Cedar Walton, guitarist Kenny Burrell, a variety of bassists and drummers,
and (on one date) Shirley Scott. Although these albums were unrelated to each
other, there is a strong unity to this box, reinforced by Turrentines
consistency and the high quality of this hard bop-oriented music. While the
performances (which include one set dedicated to Count Basie) may not be the
tenors most essential recordings, these are certainly above average and quite
enjoyable.~Scott Yanow
