TENOR SAXOPHONIST TINA BROOKS STARTED LATE AND FLAMED OUT EARLY... AFTER
COMING TO THE ATTENTION OF “BLUE NOTE RECORDS” IN THE LATE 1950s,   BROOKS
RECORDED MOSTLY AS A SIDEMAN. AS A LEADER, HE RECORDED ONLY FOUR ALBUMS
FOR THE LABEL — TWO OF WHICH WERE NEVER RELEASED AT THE TIME AND ONLY CAME
TO LIGHT AFTER 1980.   BROOKS WOULD NOT RECORD AGAIN AFTER 1961. DRUG ADDICTION
AND REVOLVING-DOOR PRISON AND HOSPITAL STAYS COMPROMISED THE QUALITY OF
HIS PLAYING AND LEFT HIM ABLE TO PLAY ONLY OCCASIONAL GIGS IN NEW YORK *** THIS
EXTREMELY SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM WAS THE RESULT OF A SESSION HELD AT VAN GELDERS
STUDIO DURING THE SUMMER OF 1960 AND REMAIN THE ABSOLUTE CORNERSTONE OF HIS
RECORDING CAREER AND HERE PRESENTED IN BRILLIANT CONDITION ––––   DEEP GROOVE
