about

‘…a saxophone heavyweight, at the height of his powers…’
Blues and Soul Magazine

‘Muscular and robust one moment, warm and soothing another, stretching out with an abrasive edge’
Jazz Journal

‘Allen reveals the underlying beauty in Turrentine’s work’
Kind of Jazz

The ‘Stanley Turrentine Project’ came about because of a deep admiration and respect for the late great saxophonist’s musical approach and output.

Brandon’s highly acclaimed ‘Gene Ammons Project’ came into existence because of a similar admiration.

Selections from Ammons’ entire career were reinterpreted, seeking to capture the the spirit of the music as well as exploring the stylistic changes that occurred throughout the tenor saxophonist’s 30 year career.

The repertoire of the ‘Stanley Turrentine Project’ is slightly more specific, drawing from Turrentine’s releases on the Bluenote and CTI labels.

In addition, some of Turrentine’s renditions of rock/pop hits of the 60’s and 70’s will be reimagined by Brandon’s exciting new quartet.

Expect soulful saxophone playing accompanied by a hard swinging and funky rhythm section.

“This is very much a labour of love. My deep respect for Stanley Turrentine’s music has guided me in putting together these arrangements and in my selection of what I believe is my strongest band to date. I believe that we’ve captured some of the ‘spirit’ of the music and I can’t wait to share this album with the world.”
