Stanley Turrentine - Look Out!
After making a strong impression in a sideman roll on Jimmy Smith’s twin soul jazz classics Midnight Special and Back at the Chicken Shack in April 1960, Blue Note boss Alfred Lion brought Stanley Turrentine back into Van Gelder Studio in June to record his own debut album as a leader, Look Out!, which formerly announced the arrival of a deeply soulful saxophonist who imbued every note he played with feeling.
Along with the tried-and-true rhythm section of pianist Horace Parlan, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Al Harewood, Mr. T delivered a superb set of hard bop featuring his indelible tunes “Look Out,” “Little Sheri,” “Minor Chant,” along with swinging numbers by Parlan (“Return Engagement”) and Clifford Brown (“Tiny Capers”) and a stunning performance of the Robert Farnon ballad "Journey into Melody.”
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
Tracklist:
Side A
1. Look Out
2. Journey Into Melody
3. Return To Engagement
Side B

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
