Turrentine, Stanley: Easy Walker (Vinyl LP)

Stanley Turrentine’s 1966 album Easy Walker was right in the soulful tenor saxophonist’s sweet spot with Mr. T fronting a versatile quartet with McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Mickey Roker on drums.

The engaging set featured hard-grooving numbers like the album opener 'Meat Wave', sultry ballads including 'They All Say I’m The Biggest Fool', the laid-back easy-swinging title track, and even an interpretation of a current pop hit with Turrentine’s sublime version of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s 'What The World Needs Now Is Love'.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analogue, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
