The veteran saxman loosely fashions his label debut as a tribute to three diverse and influential jazz legends, Stanley Turrentine, Grover Washington, Jr., and soul-jazz organist Charles Earland. Blake's more than up to the task of capturing the many moods of the first two, bringing a swinging blues panache to the jubilant "Sara's Dance" and sly seduction to "Minor Chant" (Turrentine), then a vibrant, soul-intensive pop-funk vibe to "Mister Magic.".
