Tommy Turrentine S/T

[undergroundagent]

Hi Folks,

I searched the archives for specific reviews of this title, but didn't find anything that discussed this album in any substantial detail.

Thus, what is everyone's opinion of this album? I use to have the vinyl, but I haven't heard it in quite some time. I just purchased the Japanese Mini LP from a fellow board member, but I'm also interested to hear what people think of it. As I recall, this was a fantastic album with a terrific band.

Thanks.

I consider it a fantastic album with a terrific band! B)

Seriously, I haven't heard this in a while and I ought to pull it out and listen to it again soon. I really like this one, Max's band really does well supporting Tommy here as a featured artist. . . . It's good good stuff.

I bought a new version of the Sonny Clark Trio on Time last year, a hybrid SACD, that sounded fantastic compared to any other version of that session I've ever heard, and I've thought of getting the Tommy Turrentine hybrid SACD too. . . . I bet it's a smart thing to do for the remastering. (I don't have an SACD player, but the Hoffman remastering is great on plain ole cd).

I loved Tommy's stuff so I'd give it thumbs up. Although I haven't listened to this one in a while, I dig all his stuff. It's too bad he didn't record more.

Lon, I know a gent in the Bay Area who can give you the skinny on all this SACD business.

Is this the Bainbridge album?

[jazzbo]

Hey I think I know that same "gent"!

Yes, the Bainbridge/Time.

IMO, The Turrentine is very good, the Sonny Clark is great. SACD issues with alternates worth the money! (Heck I paid more for my Time/Bainbridge CDs than they want for the re-issues.)
