The Stylings of Stanley Turrentine's Summertime
Sound and Style

16m
We'll explore the blues stylings on 6 licks from Stanley Turrentine's solo on Summertime taken from the album, Up At Minton's. I'll reference points in the recording you can find on YouTube as we dive into various aspects of the way he plays things. No transpositions of the licks are provided, since some of his sounds are specific to the key of E minor on sax. I have included separate Summertime play-along tracks in E Minor for Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, and Concert Pitch instruments, so you can practice the licks, style, and improvising in the same key he played the solo.
