Description
Cut at Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio with Freddie Hubbard up front, Tina Brooks’ True Blue captures a cool-headed hard bop group with bite. Brooks’s tenor speaks in long, singing lines, and you hear it straight away on Good Old Soul, where Sam Jones nudges the groove and a sly pickup note from Brooks tees up the theme. Theme for Doris keeps the temperature low, his breathy vibrato easing over Duke Jordan’s chords. Then Up Tight’s Creek lifts the tempo; Hubbard’s clipped phrases spark Brooks into his most bluesy run.
This pressing gives the band more room to breathe, and the low end sits deeper. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Tina Brooks records online with us. File it beside Hank Mobley’s early-60s Blue Note dates, but Brooks leans a touch darker and more lyrical. Art Taylor keeps the ride dancing while Jordan threads comping lines that never crowd the front line. A core Blue Note session that rewards quiet, late-night spins in Melbourne or a focused Sunday tidy.
Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
