Comin' Your Way by Stanley Turrentine.
Recorded on January 20, 1961 at Rudy Van Gelder's legendary studio in Englewood Cliffs, this session captures Stanley Turrentine at a pivotal moment, flanked by a working band that spoke his language fluently. Produced in its original form by Alfred Lion, the date brought together Turrentine's brawny, blues-drenched tenor with trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, the saxophonist's own brother, lending the front line a familial ease you can't manufacture. This 2020 Blue Note reissue honors that heritage with lacquers cut by Kevin Gray and Joe Harley, mastered for LP by Gray, and supervised by Harley.
Musically, it's a record built on conversation. Horace Parlan's piano lays down taut, soulful comping, while George Tucker's bass and Al Harewood's drums keep the pulse swinging and grounded. Turrentine's tone is the centerpiece — big, vocal, and unhurried — trading phrases with his brother's trumpet in a way that feels both relaxed and purposeful. It's hard bop with a deep gospel-and-blues undercurrent, the kind of playing that rewards close attention without ever losing its groove.
For the collector, the pedigree runs deep: Reid Miles cover design, Francis Wolff photography, Michael Cuscuna liner notes, and etched runouts that confirm the care behind this pressing. It's a faithful, audiophile-minded presentation of a classic Turrentine session — a document of Blue Note craftsmanship worth owning and spinning often.
