This review is from: In This World (Audio CD)

I bought this record on a recommendation from several people. I had heard of Turner before, of course, being a young tenor player in New York, but was preoccupied with listening to others at the time. I gave this record a shot, and at first, didn't see what all the hype was-until I started to check out Tristano. I began to realize where Turner was coming from, and after a few listenings, I became infatuated with his approach and especially his sound. He produces a totally artistic, understated, covered sound with an edge that is 100% addictive. It just takes a while to let it sink in. THe contributions of Mehldau, Brian Blade, and Larry Grenadier especially stand out, and make this reviewer sad that the band didn't stay together longer, because there is a definite chemistry happening here. The same language is being spoken. There's something to be said for music that is not immediately gratifying, because in the long run, it ususally ends up giving you more anyways. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great album, a must for any Jazz lover., July 13, 1999

Mark is a very unique and inspiring tenor player whom has impacted my playing for some time. He is without a doubt one of my favorite young tenor players to date. I look forward to hearing him for a long time. He is truly contributing to the tradition of improvised tenor sax music. Check out all his albums but most of all hear him live.
