Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the September 2009 Issue of Stereophile! Pressed at Pallas in Germany!
Stanley Turrentine, the jazz tenor saxophone player, was also known to some as "Mr. T" or "The Sugar Man". The jazz musician was greatly influenced at a young age by family and others, having been invited to sit in with Illinois Jacquet at the tender age of 12. Turrentine's only formal musical training came from a stint in the military in the mid 1950s. The rest he learned from life experiences and influences.
Sugar sits among the best-received of Turrentine's albums in which he added upbeat funk and rock elements to his mixture of soul jazz, a combination that led to significant sales.
