🎧 Ask the DJ about Stanley TurrentineThe Story
Stanley Turrentine was an American jazz tenor saxophonist known for his rich, blues-infused sound. He kicked off his career in R&B, performing with Earl Bostic, before diving headfirst into soul jazz with Blue Note. His music later embraced jazz fusion during his time with CTI Records. Critics have noted his thick, expressive tone that often evokes the spirit of the blues, making his work both accessible and deeply emotional. Turrentine often collaborated with his wife, organist Shirley Scott, and his brother, trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, creating a family legacy in jazz. One standout track from his catalog is “Sugar,” a perfect showcase of his signature style.
