Tina Brooks: True Blue (LP)

Tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks (1932-1974) was only able to record five albums under his own name during his tragically short career. And only one of them was released during his lifetime: the masterpiece "True Blue", published by Blue Note in 1960, on which Brooks presented five striking original compositions with an all-star quintet, stylistically covering the range between brisk bebop, Latin jazz and cool grooving hardbop. /// BLUE NOTE CLASSIC VINYL EDITION: Stereo, all analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
