A Chip off the Old Block (album) 1964 studio album by Stanley Turrentine
A Chip off the Old Block Stanley Turrentine recorded on October 21, 1963 and released on Blue Note in August 1964, featuring songs written or played by bandleader Count Basie .
Background
Recording
The album was originally planned as a septet, but after a recording session it was decided to re-record as a slimmed-down quintet, with organist Shirley Scott , trumpeter Blue Mitchell , bassist Earl May, and drummer Al Harewood .
Release history
The CD reissue includes two early septet takes, with trombonist Tom McIntosh and saxophonist Charles Davis , and Ben Dixon replacing Harewood on drums.[ 2]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states, "The spare approach of Basie is hard to ignore, and though not essential in Turrentine's discography, it is an interesting item that showcases his lighter side positively."[ 3]
