My brother is THE BOMB!!! Not only is he a scholar...
...PhD to be exact. He looks out for his big brother. I mentioned to him some time ago that i'd been on the hunt for the CTI release of... 
...Cherry (1972) by Soul-Jazz icon Stanley Turrentine So what do I find when I picked up the mail yesterday? A Japanese import remastered copy of the disc. 
Stanley Turrentine - tenor sax Milt Jackson - vibes Bob James - piano, electric piano Cornell Dupree - guitar Ron Carter - bass Billy Cobham - drums Speedball is a blistering version of the swinging Lee Morgan classic. Thanks to Cornell Dupree's guitar playing on this cut (along with Paul B. Allen... from the Buddy Miles Them Changes album), I learned the cool "extra chords" that could be employed in a standard 12-bar blues. I Remember You is a beautifully played Johnny Mercer ballad showing Stanley Turrentine's sensitive side. The title tune Cherry is an instrumental version of a piece written in the late '20s by the great Don Redman. It was recorded by many notable bands of that era including Louis Armstrong, Harry James & Benny Goodman. There are also 2 tunes penned by pianist/composer Weldon J. Irvine (Sister Sanctified & Introspective) Among other musical accomplishments, he collaborated with Nina Simone and co-wrote To Be Young, Gifted and Black. This title was adjusted for one of his musicals, Young, Gifted and Broke. And finally there's The Revs, a swinging blues shuffle written by Milt Jackson. Listening to this album again is like reuniting with an old friend. My only problem now is not being able to read the liner notes which are in Japanese.

I just looked at that album cover, and it disturbs me as an adult.  Not something I'll ever get into.
tA - you're brother is thoughtful. How are you enjoying it so far?  | |

Since you guys love the Sugar cover so much...

I really love the feel of the music on Cherry Basically Blues with a Jazz swing. tA Tribal Disorder

My 1st introduction to Milt Jackson was through Malcolm X' autobiography in my high school days. He was one of the FIRST people Malcolm met when he 1st came into 'Negro Heaven' AKA 'Harlem' in the early 40's.
There're couple of cool stories about them 2ghether during Malcolm's hustling days, I decided then and there to check him out,,,,much for my pleasure and good luck, turned out we(Actually, Ma) have that same album "Cherry" you posted, tA, and a handful of instrumental joints he did with Brotha Ray. I liked what I heard. In fact, most of my introduction to jazz through Billie Holiday and the artists Malcolm mentioned in his book. Anyway daddy tA  no more hard work on tracking down rarities from your part after this  seems that your bruh will take care of that task from now on | |

Podcasting makes time-shifted listening easy on those who can't catch the show at the normal hour. Sounds like you've got a cool show going.
