Omar Hakeme for got his wig. If you're going to wear a wig you may as well wear one with dread locks.

@Jazzually first of all it's spelled Hakim, second and most importantly the drummer playing on this video is J. T. Lewis!

[StevenCharlesJazz]

Yeah, you tell 'em Stanley!

my favourite tenor player by absolute yards. not too many notes, and all in the right place. magnificent melodic licks like noone else can produce. i love the way he uses the harmonics without overdoing it. if there is one failing it's that you can often hear the same riffs in different tunes he plays but i like the style so much he could play the same solo over and over again and it wouldn't matter to me. go stanley you inspire me.

Playing this song in Jazz Band right now.. has to be the best out of all the songs we have

Stanley put it all together so well. Soul, grit, and chops with flair & style.

I had a chance to sit in The Regatta Bar in Cambridge 10-15 years ago or so and see him perform unclose. Stripped down quartet, Amazing. He was a great guys too hung out and we talked music & sax for a while after the show. Will always remember hang in with a hero.

Stanley Turrentine, one of the most distinctive saxophone sounds in the history of jazz. He did a lot of recording with Jimmy Smith in the sixties and he is one of the best tenor saxophonist in the history of jazz. In other words, the cat could play!!!

Well I guess I am a bit of an authority on Stanleys playing as I spent some of my youth nailing his style before more adventurous challenges, took my fancy.

Mr Turrentine is one of my heros and made sure I went to listen to him live when ever i could.

However this live show could have been a thousand times better if they used

one rhythm section ie keyboard instead of two, right.

They climb all over each other the tune making at sound bad. With the talent on show they should know better.

I went to grammar school with this guy's daughter! Adam Gussow does a rendition of this tune on his 'Kick & Stomp' CD.

Nice to see this video. I have this album (never liked that cover!) - favourite track is 'Walk On By'. Stan looks great on this video. Sound is good too - even on my one inchers.
