[Rudy]

I'll save the bad "sugar" puns and say that this album is another top-notch CTI release. Arguably one of Turrentine's finest. The sound and production are textbook 70s CTI as well.

It's interesting to compare the wildly uneven releases of 1001 to 1005, yet look at all the great titles in 6001 to 6005. I feel this era is where Taylor really found his "groove."

Never heard this before, but it sounds like Stan's moving forward with the feel of his '68 Blue Note LP, Common Touch. Stan is instantly recognizable with the big tenor sound and always a pleasure to hear. Decent LP (but, man, that LP cover photo is c r e e p y ).
