Stanley Turrentine – Rough & Tumble (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Stanley Turrentine’s 1966 soul jazz classic finds a deep, bluesy groove that doesn’t let up from start to finish. Joining him are trumpeter Blue Mitchell, baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, alto saxophonist James Spaulding, and drummer Mickey Roker. Highlights include soulful covers of Ray Charles’ “What Could I Do Without You,” and “Feeling Good,” which Nina Simone recorded the year before. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered sound.
