Tender Togetherness is a studio album by tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, released in April 1981 on Elektra Records.[1] The album reached No. 13 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart.[2]
With a 3.5 out of 5 star rating, Steve Leggett of Allmusic claimed “Tender Togetherness featured an electric jazz-funk hybrid sound that packed a good deal more punch and brightness than its predecessor, 1979’s Betcha. Produced by Earth, Wind & Fire’s Larry Dunn (EW&F’s “After the Love Has Gone” is given a treatment here), and featuring a subtle, almost Latin feel, the album bounces and bubbles along on an almost continuous joyful light R&B groove.”[3]
