Released in 1966, 'Rough & Tumble' is a delicious mix of powerful grooves from covers like 'Walk on By' (Burt Bacharach) and 'Shake' (Sam Cooke), with the immeasurable bluesy melancholy of 'What Could I Do Without You' (Ray Charles). Arranged by Duke Pearson and produced by Alfred Lion, this album is reissued on 180-gram vinyl, entirely mastered from the original tapes.
Stanley Turrentine is one of those essential saxophonists who shaped the sound of the Blue Note label. Throughout his career, he accompanied many jazz stars such as Max Roach, Kenny Burrell, Duke Pearson, Lowell Fulson, and his wife, organist Shirley Scott.
