Quite a bit. I love Stanley Turrentine's playing.
I only wish they had the recorded version from this album...



...Don't Mess With Mister T so that you get the full orchestral arrangement.


Great tune.

Yeah both versions are what you'd call "cool jazz".

I get your point but based on what falls into that category today, it almost sounds like an insult. lol

Maybe Marvin's original was more funk-based, I don't know. smile

It definitely has a Jazz feel and it was certainly Cool so your description works perfectly. wink

Yeah... actually the album is so underrated and honestly though there was a lot of funky instrumentals, even the songs Marvin sung in with exception of "Poor Abbey Walsh" and "Don't Mess With Mister T" seemed personal, like "Life is a Gamble" for instance. cool
