Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a larger ensemble arranged by Duke Pearson, 'The Spoiler' expands the tenor saxophonist's signature soulful sound into lush, brass-heavy territory. Turrentine's robust, blues-drenched phrasing is perfectly supported by an all-star cast including Blue Mitchell and McCoy Tyner. The record brilliantly straddles the line between accessible, groove-oriented soul jazz and sophisticated hard bop improvisation.
