rating: 5 QuoteOne of My Favorite Jazz Albums! Quote
From the first tickle of the ivories by Gene Harris on Willow Weep for Me and then the gentle blowing of the wind-like saxophone by Stanley Turentine, I am instantly placed in a mellow mood and all is right with the world. This beautifully recorded album hits the mark so extremely well. If you are new to jazz, there is no better place to start than this perfect example of what it sounds like when all the stars are in alignment. Of course I am a sucker for good sax and Mr. Turrentine pushes all the right buttons for me on this one. I hope you will find this equally as gratifying. Ciao June 30, 2008

An outstanding collection of well-recorded, soulful renditions of classic jazz standards. This is one of those albums you can come back to time and time again, and it takes on different meaning depending on where your life is at the moment.

This CD is exquisite. Stanley Turrentine and Gene Harris combine in the first track "Willow Weep for Me" with the best way to relax after a hard day. Guaranteed to drop blood pressure 20 within 5 seconds. I have nearly worn out this CD. A must must have for tenor sax lovers, jazz piano lovers and Gene Harris fans. June 16, 2003

For anyone (or especially anytwo) who hold in their hearts a scintilla of romance this is the quintessential soundtrack. A prolonged excursion into a very deep vibe. Add flame if only from a candle & perhaps the sunshine of Spanish brandy, clothing is definitely optional!
Be prepared for winter. No one but Stanley can play this slowly, this beautifully. November 25, 2001

My favorite Turrentine album since "The Baddest Turrentine", this one has Stanley's smooth, soulful sound, but without the overproduced "strings flooding in" that diminishes many of his other recordings. This mellow album, which sounds like an actual quintet rather than something cooked up in a studio, will please confirmed jazz afficionados as well as pop fans -- another good "intro to jazz" album for people who can't quite get their ears around the more demanding sounds of many jazz artists. Everybody likes it. It makes such a great gift, I'd like to get a volume discount. July 7, 2000
