Turn It On! Is a jazz album by the legendary saxophonist Sonny Stitt. This album showcases Stitt's versatility as he delves into a more contemporary, electric jazz sound, blending elements of jazz with funk and soul influences that were popular in the early 1970s. On Turn It On!, Stitt plays both the alto and tenor saxophones, bringing his trademark bebop proficiency to a set of tracks characterized by groovy rhythms and electric instrumentation. The album features performances from a group of talented musicians, including Virgil Jones on trumpet, Leon Spencer on organ, Melvin Sparks on guitar, Idris Muhammad on drums, and Ron Carter on bass. This ensemble supports Stitt with a sound that is both grounded in jazz tradition and experimental in it's exploration of new musical directions. Stitt's saxophone takes center stage amidst the lush, groove-oriented backdrop provided by his bandmates. Turn It On! #represents a period in Stitt's career where he embraced the changing landscape of jazz, incorporating more modern sounds while still maintaining his bebop roots. Originally released in 1971 on Prestige Records, a label known for it's role in advancing jazz, and remastered and reissued here for 2024, Turn It On! Is a notable entry in Sonny Stitt's extensive discography, reflecting his adaptability and ongoing influence in the jazz world during a time of significant musical evolution.
