Stanley Turrentine - Tacos (1964)

Unreleased in its time, underplayed in ours, this session and this Lee Morgan tune deserved better.

The mind-boggling personnel on hand for this session makes you scratch your head in 2011 and wonder what the actual f*ck Alfred Lion was thinking in 1964 when he shelved it. Thank god the Japanese love Blue Note jazz, or this session might still be gathering dust.

Domo Arigato.
