A legend of the tenor saxophone, Stanley Turrentine was renowned for his distinctively thick, rippling tone, an earthy grounding in the blues, and his ability to work a groove with soul and imagination. 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.

Haute corniche ( 1962 )
Art Fitzpatrick began his career designing cars. At 20, he designed the Darrin Packard 4-door convertible and hard top sedans, and at 22 was a consulting designer to General Electric. After World War II service as a Naval Officer, he turned to advertising design and illustration, beginning with 8 years of Mercury, including 4 years of Lincoln ads. Before GM obtained his exclusive services (20 years worth), he did ads for Nash, Plymouth, Chrysler, Kaiser and Studebaker. During these years, he also did art, graphic and product design for other Fortune 500 clients.
Van Kaufman went from art school to Walt Disney Studios, where he became a key animator and director. He served in the Army Air Force in the war, producing and directing training films. Back to Disney, he then left to travel and live in Europe for a while, and then to New York and advertising and editorial art. In 1951 Fitz, having admired Van’s art for an Italian Line campaign, suggested him for the backgrounds on the Mercury ads.
That began a 24 year collaboration and a 43 year friendship that lasted until Van’s death in 1995.

blue mitchell quintet ( 1965 )
Blue Mitchell was born March 13, 1930 in Miami, Florida. He took up trumpet in high school where he acquired his nickname. After high school, he toured with R&B bands led by Paul Williams, Earl Bostic, and Chuck Willis. After returning to Miami, he was heard by Cannonball Adderly, who took him to New York to record for Riverside in 1958. Mitchell gained a reputation working with Horace Silver’s quintet from 1958 to March of 1964, where his lyrical playing and beautiful tone perfectly complemented Silver’s simplified, soulful brand of bop. When Silver disbanded in 1963, Mitchell formed his own group, employing most of his fellow musicians, with Silver’s place being taken by Chick Corea. This band continued until the end of the decade, at which time Mitchell joined the band that was backing Ray Charles. During the early 70s, Mitchell played with a number of artists in fields outside jazz, notably bluesman John Mayall and popular singers such as Tony Bennett and Lena Horne. Resident in Los Angeles from the mid-70s, Mitchell freelanced in both small and big bands, including those led by Harold Land, Louie Bellson and Bill Berry.
