Do You Have Any Sugar? is a studio album by saxophonist Stanley Turrentine recorded in 1999 and his debut for the Concord Vista label. This was his first disc since 1995 and the last album recorded by Turrentine as a leader.[1]

He sticks to differing small groups throughout, supported by electric instrumentation (bass, guitar or keyboards). On some tracks, he's paired with a complimentary horn (in this case, Andy Martin's trombone or Rick Braun's trumpet,[2] as well as singer Niki Haris on three themes.

According to Nat Hentoff liner notes[3] for this album, Turrentine stated regarding this date: "I wanted to go back in spirit to the sounds and concepts of the 1960's and then move through the '70s and '80s into what's happening now."

AllMusic[4]

AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated "Stanley Turrentine still has a sweeter sound than any other saxophonist, even at the age of 65" and "aficionados will delight in certain phrases he turns out -he remains an excellent saxophonist, after all- but the album overall makes little impact."[4]

For Doug Payne from All About Jazz, Turrentine is here in a top form and his "precision soulfulness remains impeccable throughout, even when the music threatens to become a bit too smooth."[2]
