JAZZ CD PICKS OF THE WEEK - STANLEY TURRENTINE


I just love the tenor sax sound of Stanley Turrentine. An unmistakable tone that you can identify from the very first note. So why are there two cd picks this week instead of only one? Well, because these are the last two cd's that I bought, that's why!
The first cd is titled A Chip Off The Old Block and features the music of Count Basie. Featuring Shirley Scott on organ and Blue Mitchell on trumpet this is a cd that definitely swings! Click the link below to hear some audio samples of this cd.

The second cd is titled The Return Of The Prodigal Son and features Stanley in a much larger band setting. Another great cd from Stanley that you need to check out!
