CJ Shearn Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I have this on hold for me at a local store being sold for $8! Is it worth the purchase? Quote
David Ayers Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Well - yes. If you like ST and enjoy Duke Pearson style arrangements, go for it. It's a pretty nice thing to have around and at that price it won't break you (I hope). Quote
Jim R Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Yes! I waited years for some of the tracks from this... ... to come out on CD. I think Turrentine shines on this stuff. Quote
jazztrain Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Yes, it's definitely worth it. I picked this up about a month ago and have enjoyed it more than I expected. It includes a beautiful version of a rarely recorded Henry Mancini tune ("Silver Tears"). There's another version of that tune recorded around the same time by Shelly Manne. .

Shawn Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Make sure to get the "sister release" Return Of The Prodigal Son. Both are fantastic. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 I'll try to get that Shawn, it's still in print Quote
Chicago Expat Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 You should be able to get Return of the Prodigal Son pretty cheap too. It was part of the same release (kinda) as Bluish Bag. I remember they were both available on my old BMG account, which always indicated plentiful and cheap on the general market. Both worth having, but I also really love Turrentine's music, so keep that in mind. Quote
sidewinder Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Make sure to get the "sister release" Return Of The Prodigal Son. Both are fantastic. I agree ! Quote
jazzbo Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 +3 or 4 from me, they're both well worth having. Great stuff! Quote
Big Al Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Whatever number were on.... I say go for it and PRODIGAL as well!!! Essential Turrentine, IMO, and far FAR better than some of the stuff that actually saw the light of day when it was recorded. Quote
