Turn It On! is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt recorded in 1971 and released on the Prestige label.[1] The album features Stitt using the varitone, an electronic amplification device which altered the saxophone's sound.[2]
Allmusic reviewed the album, stating, "Stitt uses an electrical device (a Varitone) on his tenor that waters down his tone a bit. With organist Leon Spencer, guitarist Melvin Sparks and drummer Idris Muhammad setting down unrelenting grooves on most of the five numbers (including the 11-minute title cut), Stitt only seems to be making cameo appearances".[3]
All compositions by Leon Spencer except where noted
