RIBS TPTD: ‘Sax Appeal’ 3 – Coltrane, Turrentine & Grover, part 2

Filed under: RIBS, Sax Appeal, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes 

A couple of weeks ago I featured these three as a part of the RIBS ‘Sax Appeal’ theme going on during this month of April. At the time I had planned to do a second mix because there were too many songs I wanted to use but they would not fit into just one mix. So here is some more from the sax masters that I consider the “Big 3” of the instrument:

  1. John Coltrane
  2. Stanley Turrentine
  3. Grover Washington, Jr.

John Coltrane: Starting in bebop and hard bop, Coltrane later pioneered free jazz. He influenced generations of other musicians, and remains one of the most significant tenor saxophonists in Jazz history.

Stanley Turrentine: Stanley William Turrentine was one of the most distinctive tenor saxophonists in jazz. Known for his big, warm, sound, “The Sugar Man” or the original “Mr. T” found inspiration in the blues and turned it into a hugely successful career with a #1 hit and four Grammy nominations — first in R&B and then in Jazz.

Grover Washington, Jr.: Considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of Smooth Jazz, throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Grover made some of this genre’s most memorable hits, including “Mr. Magic”, “Black Frost”, and “The Best Is Yet To Come”.

So… a second helping of C, T & G as we present to you…
