Description:

Tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine is best known for his soul-jazz outings of the 1960s, and that feeling suffuses the 1967 session recordings collected on THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON. Working with a tentet--including a crack rhythm section of bassist Bob Cranshaw, drummer Ray Lucas, and pianist McCoy Tyner--Turrentine takes on a program of blues, ballads, standards and Latin-tinged tunes.
Duke Pearson`s rich, ear-catching arrangements make full use of the larger group instrumentation, but it`s the dynamism of the rhythm section and Turrentine`s soulful lines that stand out. Highlights include the saxman`s take on several classic R&B tunes, including "Ain`t No Mountain High Enough" and "Dr. Feelgood."
