Stanley blows it sweet, mellow, and soulfully – in this wonderful post-CTI session from the 70s!

A 70s soulful classic from the mighty Stanley Turrentine!

One of the best Stanley Turrentine albums ever!

A fantastic early record from tenor giant Stanley Turrentine – a set that's completely hard-hitting, and which has a very different vibe than the sweeter sets he'd cut later in the 70s!

She's back, with another dose of ear candy for those of you who didn't get enough first time around.
