Stanley Turrentine was one of the most soulful and expressive tenor saxophonists in hard bop jazz, and Mr. Natural stands as a testament to his warm, commanding tone and natural musical instincts. Recorded on September 4, 1964, at the legendary Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, this Blue Note session captures Turrentine alongside a stellar lineup of jazz musicians at the top of their game.

Part of Blue Note's acclaimed Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series — born from a commitment to the highest standards of sound reproduction — this release is cut directly from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Record Technology Inc. (RTI), ensuring a listening experience that honors the warmth and depth of the original recording. With five accessible and swinging tracks, including a memorable take on The Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love," Mr. Natural is a rewarding listen for both longtime jazz devotees and those just beginning to explore the genre.
