T Time

T Time is an album by saxophonist Stanley Turrentine recorded in 1995 and released by the MusicMasters label.

The newly-recorded small-group set set contains a mix of pieces from throughout the then-61-year-old saxophonist's career: four songs from Turrentine's 1970s days on the CTI label (Don't Mess with Mister T., A Little Sweetness aka Sugar, I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do, and Impressions), a bossa from 1979 (The Island), two songs from his 1989 penultimate major label release La Place (Terrible T. and Touching), and a new original by longtime sideman Dave Stryker (Side Steppin').

Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Modern, small-group Turrentine. He plays the horn like few others, but this is not in the style of his vintage soul stuff".
