Тенор-саксофонист. Стал известен в 60-е годы как участник квинтета Макса Роуча и один из ярких представителей хард-бопа и соул-джаза.

В 11 лет отец-саксофонист дал мальчику первые уроки музыки. В школе играл на виолончели, а на саксофоне — в группах ритм-энд-блюза. В 16 лет вошел в Lowell Fusion Band, в котором пианистом был Рэй Чарльз. В дальнейшем сотрудничал с Тэдом Дамероном (1952), Эрлом Бостиком (1953–54). В 1959 вместе с братом, трубачом Томасом Тёррентайном, вошел в квинтет Макса Роуча. В 60-е годы записывал пластинки со своей женой, вокалисткой Ширли Скотт. В 70–80-е годы собственные ансамбли собирал редко, предпочитал быть приглашенным солистом. Его партнерами становились Кенни Баррел, Милт Джексон, Фредди Хаббард, Джимми Смит, Лес МакКенна, Джордж Бенсон и многие другие.




Album Review
This session from tenor-saxophonist Stanley Turrentine often sounds like a CTI recording from the 1970s although Creed Taylor had nothing to do with it. Backed by Don Sebesky's arrangements and assisted by a strong rhythm section and Hubert Laws's flute, Turrentine's solos are stronger than the melodies and he generally overcomes the unimaginative use of strings on the ballads. Mr. T. is in fine form and he makes the most of each selection (particularly on the two blues "June Bug" and "A Luta Continua") while Laws comes across much more creative than he does on most of his own recordings. Recommended.

Album Review
Stanley Turrentine's stint with Creed Taylor's CTI label may not have produced any out-and-out classics on the level of the very best LPs by Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, or George Benson, but the bluesy tenorist's output was consistently strong and worthwhile for all but the most stridently anti-fusion listeners. Salt Song was Turrentine's second album for CTI, and while it's perhaps just a small cut below his debut Sugar, it's another fine, eclectic outing that falls squarely into the signature CTI fusion sound: smooth but not slick, accessible but not simplistic. In general, keyboardist Eumir Deodato's arrangements have plenty of light funk and Brazilian underpinnings, the latter often courtesy of percussionist Airto Moreira. The first three cuts are the most memorable, beginning with a ten-minute exploration of the abrupt time signature shifts of Freddie Hubbard's "Gibraltar." Though a hard bop version might have returned to the theme a little less often, Turrentine's solo sections are full of ideas, befitting one of his favorite pieces of the period; plus, guitarist Eric Gale shines as both a rhythm and lead player. The traditional gospel tune "I Told Jesus" features Turrentine at his bluesiest and earthiest, with snatches of ethereal choir vocals floating up behind him. Milton Nascimento's title track, naturally, has the strongest Brazilian flavor of the program, and Turrentine skillfully negotiates its frequent shifts in and out of double time. The 1997 CD reissue also includes Nascimento's "Vera Cruz" as a bonus track. All in all, Salt Song has dated well, partly because the arrangements don't overemphasize electric piano, but mostly on the strength of Turrentine's always-soulful playing.
