All of the many collaborations between organist Shirley Scott and tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine in the 1960s resulted in high-quality soul jazz, groovin' music that was boppish enough to interest jazz listeners and basic enough for a wider audience. This CD reissue has the duo (joined by bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Otis "Candy" Finch) performing a pair of Scott originals, Benny Golson's "Five Spot After Dark," Sonny Rollins' obscure "Grand Street" and the veteran standard "Flamingo." The only fault of this CD reissue is its brief length, just 32 minutes. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/blue-flames-mw0000263755

Personnel: Shirley Scott (Hammond organ); Stanley Turrentine (tenor saxophone); Bob Cranshaw (bass); Otis Finch (drums).
