Tina Brooks – The Waiting Game (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Harold Floyd Brooks Jr. spent the early 1960s recording some of the most quietly profound hard bop of the era, yet illness kept him from the recognition his peers readily earned. The fact that Blue Note shelved this session for nearly four decades makes its existence feel almost miraculous, and Joe Harley's Tone Poet treatment gives these performances the weight and warmth they always deserved.
The Waiting Game was the unsung tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks' final album, recorded in 1961 and released in `99. Joined here by Johnny Coles (trumpet), Kenny Drew (piano), Wilbur Ware (bass) & Philly Joe Jones (drums). Brooks penned five tracks, showcasing his unique compositional talent. Highlights include the opener "Talkin' About" and the modal masterpieces "Dhyana" and "David the King." Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
