Bob Stanley

Bob Reynolds is an impressive tenor-saxophonist with an original tone who has gained fame for his work with Snarky Puppy and John Mayer. Hindsight is his seventh CD as a leader and his first studio album leading a classic jazz quartet.

This is a typically excellent recording from the husband-wife team of tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and organist Shirley Scott. With assistance from guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Otis Finch, Turrentine (who always had the skill of playing melodies fairly straight but with his own brand of soul) and Scott dig into "Love Letters," Lloyd Price's "Trouble," "Something Happens to Me," a couple of basic originals, and "Goin' Home." The Turrentine-Scott team never made an unworthy disc; all are easily recommended, including this one.

The Moonlight Sessions has a total of 25 songs tracked to be divided into two albums (Volume 1 and Volume 2) in the series. The songs include a number of arrangements that combine classical music with jazz standards for never before created new versions of timeless music. There are also new jazz versions of pop tunes like Willie Nelson's 'Crazy ' and 'Why Don't You Do Right.
