Classic soul-jazz record from a Blue Note tenor-sax legend. Featuring Tommy Turrentine (trumpet), Horace Parlan (piano), George Tucker (bass) and Al Harewood (drums). Showcases classic takes on jazz and blues standards (Just In Time, Then Ill Be Tired Of You, My Girl Is Just Enough Woman For Me) plus Tommy Turrentines original Stolen Sweets. Produced by Blue Note co-founder Alfred Lion. Featuring a classic Reid Miles cover design, photography by Francis Wolff and liner notes by Michael Cuscuna.
Stanley Turrentine is at his blues-drenched best on Comin Your Way. the quintet was at the peak of their collective power at this time, with this same group also making the classic Blue Note Horace Parlan records, Speakin My Piece and On the Spur of the Moment. Comin Your Way completes this magical hard-bop trilogy!
The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. The label brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), aka the Tone Poet, on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels. Extreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the deluxe gatefold jacket graphics and printing quality to superior mastering (all analog direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180-gram audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology Inc. Every aspect of these Blue Note/Tone Poet releases is done to the highest-possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version.
The LPs are mastered directly from the original analog master tapes by Kevin at his incredible facility called Cohearent Mastering. We go about it in the exact same way that we did for so many years for the Music Matters Blue Note reissues. We do not roll off the low end, boost the top or do any limiting of any kind. We allow the full glory of the original Blue Note masters to come though unimpeded! Short of having an actual time machine, this is as close as you can get to going back and being a fly on the wall for an original Blue Note recording session.
