## Description

With a strong, smooth tone and an amazing flow of fresh ideas every time he soloed, tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks should have been a major jazz artist, but his legacy is confined to a series of dates that he did for Blue Note as a sideman and leader. "True Blue" is the only album under his own name to come out in his lifetime. He and Freddie Hubbard had recorded Hubbard's "Open Sesame" a week earlier. Based on these two albums alone, Brooks should have been recognized as an important new voice in jazz. This CD adds to two alternate takes to the original LP.  * Bonus tracks, not part of the original LP.  Recorded on June 25, 1960 at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey  TINA BROOKS, tenor sax, FREDDIE HUBBARD, trumpet; DUKE JORDAN, piano; SAM JONES, bass; ART TAYLOR, drums

    The CD Precursor of a Tone Poet
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021*

The comments by Durmund Strang from years ago are spot on. This is a very fine sounding XRCD. It includes a booklet with Francis Wolff photos attached to the front cover. Joe Harley (the Tone Poet) and Michael Cuscuna were involved in the production of this version. The performances are stellar. Young Freddie Hubbard, Duke Jordan, Sam Jones and A.T. The apotheosis of Blue Note.I had purchased the two recent Tina Brooks reissues on vinyl and wanted this one to complete the set. I bought this after Amazon failed to obtain a Japanese pressing. I believe the last OG Blue Note vinyl that sold on Discogs set a record at over 3K, so I was not in the market for one of those.If you have a good DAC and don't have to have vinyl, you will not be disappointed. The price on these recently dropped, leading me to think we are at the end of the line. Get yours now, and if a Tone Poet comes out, get that too.

    Rare On Original Vinyl - Tina (Tiny) Brooks & Freddie Hubbard
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2011*

If you haven't heard this combo you're missing a key piece of the 1950's/1960's jazz puzzle. Tina Brooks did not last long, but gained quite a folowing from his meager recorded output. Also recommended would be "Open Sesame" by Freddie Hubbard. Brooks was not as technically proficient as some sax men and certainly played some inappropriate notes, but he had a fine tone and sense of melody. His improvisations were influenced by his R&B background but were always interesting. Freddie Hubbard meanwhile was much better known and perhaps more musicaly "schooled". The two horns mixed well on these tunes with the unison phrases being very appealing. Duke Jordan's piano work was near perfect here and Sam Jones on bass and Art Taylor on drums provided solid rhythm support. These songs are all quite engaging. I think any bop or cool jazz fan will be happy if they include this in their collection.

    One of the great Blue Notes
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021*

Aficionados love Tina Brooks with good reason. Had he not lived a hard life and passed away at the young age of 42 he probably would have achieved a greater than mere cult status in the jazz world. All of his records are worth hearing and True Blue may be the best.
