Stanley Turrentine’s 1966 albumEasy Walkerwas right in the soulful tenor saxophonist’s sweet spot with Mr. T fronting a versatile quartet withMcCoy Tyneron piano,Bob Cranshawon bass, andMickey Rokeron drums. The engaging set featured hard-grooving numbers like the album opener “Meat Wave,” sultry ballads including “They All Say I’m the Biggest Fool,” the laid-back easy-swinging title track, and even an interpretation of a current pop hit with Turrentine’s sublime version of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s “What the World Needs Now Is Love.”
