If ever there was a record that fit perfectly into the CTI Records label sound, yet completely defied that categorization, it was "Sugar" by Stanley Turrentine. Turrentine, a veteran of soul jazz since the '50s, is joined by the crème de la crème of the groove scene, including guitarist George Benson, Lonnie Liston Smith on electric piano, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bassist Ron Carter, organist Butch Cornell and Billy Kaye on drums. The title track is a masterpiece of soul blues with a swinging offbeat, the rhythm section keeping a nice flow with fourths and eighths while Benson, Hubbard and Turrentine start slow, step on the gas, increase the tempo and pace until the climax - especially in Hubbard's solo.
At this point, the mood of the album is such that the party really gets going or gets completely out of control. When Benson takes over his part, replete with skillful, radiant and warm arpeggios, everything goes off the rails. Butch Cornell's "Sunshine Alley" is a solid, funky-groovy piece, pacesetters here are the organ and Kaye's double-bar notes. Turrentine and Hubbard take over the melody and improvise masterfully, now you really can't pin the label blues on the piece and the revs are upped even more. But the big surprise is the last piece, played with the greatest drive and deepest gut since John Coltrane's "Impressions." Turrentine feels deep in his saxophone, producing a wonderful legato on his instrument - and it's remarkable. Ron Carter's bass flows through the modal interludes, setting the stage for Benson and Smith's wonderful intervallic fantasies, building a series of harmonic bridges through harmonic transitions - from interplay into the solos. It's hard to believe that this is Turrentine, and yet it could be no one else.
If there are jazz fans interested in Turrentine after his Blue Note days, and there should be, this LP provides the greatest satisfaction.
