萨克斯风手Stanley Turrentine在爵士乐史已然占据了稳固的位置,他以如烤透了的松饼般厚重柔软的演奏声建立了个人的特色,扎实的蓝调与灵魂草根性让他的作品听来永远那么销魂。Turrentine最为著名的录音全都收录在60年代的蓝调之音,十年间为该公司录制了25张作品,产量令人乍舌,同时也证明Turrentine当时的市场价值。
by Steve Huey
A legend of the tenor saxophone, Stanley Turrentine was renowned for his distinctively thick, rippling tone, an earthy grounding in the blues, and his ability to work a groove with soul and imagination. Turrentine recorded in a wide variety of settings, but was best-known for his Blue Note soul-jazz jams of the 60s, and also underwent a popular fusion makeover in the early 70s. Born in Pittsburgh on April 5, 1934, Turrentine began his career playing with various blues and R&B bands, with a strong influence from Illinois Jacquet. He played in Lowell Fulsons band with Ray Charles from 1950-1951, and in 1953, he replaced John Coltrane in Earl Bostics early R&B/jazz band. After a mid-50s stint in the military, Turrentine joined Max Roachs band and subsequently met organist Shirley Scott, whom he married in 1960 and would record with frequently.
Upon moving to Philadelphia, Turrentine struck up a chemistry with another organist, Jimmy Smith, appearing on Smiths 1960 classics Back at the Chicken Shack and Midnight Special, among others. Also in 1960, Turrentine began recording as a leader for Blue Note, concentrating chiefly on small-group soul-jazz on classics like Thats Where Its At, but also working with the Three Sounds (on 1961s Blue Hour) and experimenting with larger ensemble settings in the mid-60s. As the 70s dawned, Turrentine and Scott divorced and Turrentine became a popular linchpin of Creed Taylors new, fusion-oriented CTI label; he recorded five albums, highlighted by Sugar, Salt Song, and Dont Mess With Mister T. While those commercially accessible efforts were artistically rewarding as well, critical opinion wasnt as kind to his late-70s work for Fantasy; still, Turrentine continued to record prolifically, and returned to his trademark soul-jazz in the 80s and 90s. Turrentine passed away on September 12, 2000, following a massive stroke.
