Tommy Turrentine (LP)

Tommy Turrentine

Label: Audio Fidelity

Catalog Number: AFLP007

Features: 180 Gram

On his first album under his own name, Tommy Turrentine is joined by his brother Stanley Turrentine on tenor sax, Max Roach on drums, Julian Priester on trombone, Horace Parlan on piano and Bob Boswell on bass.

All of Audio Fidelity vinyl releases will be remastered only from the original master tapes using a vintage vacuum tube playback system for remastering. The plating of the lacquers is done the same day as cutting, using a slow temperature bath to minimize groove echo and loss of high frequency information. If you like what they did at DCC, you'll love the sound were making at AUDIO FIDELITY.

1. Gunga Din (Spencer/Turrentine)

2. Webb City (Powell)

3. Time's Up (Turrentine)

Ok music, cheesy cover. You can buy the original for maybe $2-3.

Soular Energy is really a great sounding lp. Gene harris is in great form, and Brown's bass comes through loud and clear! The only drawback is the price, $50.00 is a lot to pay for a lp that is easily bought for $15.00 in cd format.

Gulp. So much for my interest...
