$33.13
The Story
Though it wouldnât first be released until 1980 as part of the LT Series, Stanley Turrentineâs Mr. Natural is a standout recording in the soulful tenor saxophonistâs immense 1960s Blue Note catalog. Turrentine had already led 12 dates for the label from his hard bop debut Look Out! in 1960 to the soul jazz workout Hustlinâ recorded in January 1964. That Fall the saxophonist was back in Rudy Van Gelderâs Englewood Cliffs studio at the helm of a cutting-edge modern jazz group with Lee Morgan on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums with Ray Barretto joining on congas for several songs. The band stretches out across Side 1 on the opener âWahooâ (aka âStanleyâs Bluesâ), penned by Duke Pearson, as well as Turrentineâs loving piece âShirleyâ dedicated to his then-wife Shirley Scott. Side 2 leads off with Morganâs jaunty tune âTacosâ before Turrentine delivers a brightly swinging quartet version of the standard âMy Girl Is Just Enough Woman For Me.â The album closes with a memorable take on The Beatlesâ âCanât Buy Me Love.â
