Brandon Allen Quartet – The Stanley Turrentine Project

Brandon Allen: tenor saxophone
Will Barry: piano
Conor Chaplin: bass
David Ingamells: drums

Exciting tenor saxophonist Brandon Allen’s latest project celebrates one of his great influences, the late soulful, hard blowing American tenor player Stanley Turrentine.  It’s a homage to Turrentine’s trademark sound which blended bop with rhythm and blues, capturing the spirit and exploring the stylistic changes that occurred throughout his career. This top notch band, with the superb Will Barry on piano, will focus on Turrentine’s recordings on the Blue Note and CTI labels and some of his reimagined versions of rock/pop hits of the 60’s and 70’s. Expect soulful expressive saxophone playing accompanied by a hard swinging and funky rhythm section.

“This was a performance full of energy and brio with all four musicians right on top of their game and impressing both individually and collectively” – the JazzMann.com review of live performance of the Stanley Turrentine project
