Turrentine recorded in a wide variety of settings, but was best-known for his Blue Note soul-jazz jams of the ’60s, and also underwent a popular fusion makeover in the early ’70s.

Trombonist James Lewis “J.J.” Johnson, one of the luminaries of bebop in the ’40s and ’50s, brought an extraordinary fluency of expression to his polished playing.
