In the Pocket is an album by the jazz saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, his second recorded for the Fantasy label after associations with Blue Note Records and CTI. The album has performances by Turrentine with an orchestra arranged and conducted by Gene Page.[2] It was released in 1975 and has yet to be rereleased on CD.
Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau satirically wrote, "This is the sound track for a romantic comedy featuring Henry 'Hank' Aaron as a bank vice-president whose hobby is private investigation. While 'digging' into billiard-licensing payoffs, he falls for a lady eight-ball hustler (Leslie Uggams) who happens to be the daughter of Mr. Big, played by Barry White. Aaron decides to go crooked, but you know he'll never achieve the power or vulgarity of his father-in-law. Neither will Gene Page, who arranged this claptrap for Turrentine, a saxophonist whose fat, self-indulgent tone is apparently demanding the worst these days."[4]
