For the present project, we've prepared no less than four Tommy Turrentine gems, all presented here in their debut recordings. In his last years Tommy, though not as active as a player, composed a major body of new work with the encouragement of his publisher and longtime advocate Don Sickler. My thanks to Don for making these tunes available.
