Stanley Turrentine

4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

This release presents all of Stanley Turrentine's existing master takes accompanied by The Three Sounds, the legendary trio featuring Gene Harris on piano, Andy Simpkins on bass, and Bill Dowdy on drums. Included here is the complete original LP Blue Hour (Blue Note BST80457), plus two songs from the same date and a complete session taped earlier that year.
