Blue Note BSIN01891079 (RVG Edition) Brooks, Tina - True Blue Although a four-LP Mosaic box set purportedly includes every recording led by the obscure but talented tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, this 1994 CD has previously unreleased alternate takes of "True Blue" and "Good Old Soul" that Mosaic overlooked. Brooks is teamed with the young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard (on one of his earliest sessions), pianist Duke Jordan, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Taylor for a set dominated by Brooks' originals. None of the themes may be all that memorable ("Nothing Ever Changes My Love for You" comes the closest), but the hard bop solos are consistently excellent. (Scott Yanow)
Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Tina Brooks (tenor sax), Duke Jordan (piano), Sam Jones (bass), Art Taylor (drums). All compositions by Tina Brooks, unless otherwise noted.
8 Tracks (incl. 2 Bonus Tracks, not part of the Original LP). Originally recorded on June 25, 1960 by Rudy Van Gelder at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
