Description

2023 reissue as part of the Blue Note Tone Poet Series, originally released in 1980 - Stanley Turrentine's supporting cast is a strong one, including Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Bob Cranshaw, Elvin Jones, and Ray Barretto. The leader's "Stanley's Blues" is a modal blues with a slight Latin flavor from Barretto's congas, while "Shirley" is a sauntering bossa nova. Morgan contributed the upbeat Latin blues "Tacos," while Turrentine reaches his peak as a soloist on the somewhat obscure song "My Girl is Just Enough for Me" (written by Dorothy Fields). But the biggest surprise is Turrentine's driving arrangement of the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love"; unlike many lukewarm jazz covers of their mid-1960s hits, the tenor saxophonist completes its transformation into a very viable jazz vehicle.
