This remarkable recording captures Brooks at the height of his creative powers, delivering soulful melodies and intricate improvisations that have made "True Blue" a sought-after gem among jazz enthusiasts.

Universal Import is renowned for its dedication to high-quality music releases across genres and eras, ensuring listeners receive authentic sound experiences with every product.
Tina Brooks was an influential figure in the hard bop movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Despite a brief career cut short by personal struggles, his work has been celebrated posthumously for its lyrical depth and emotional intensity. "True Blue," his only album as a leader released during his lifetime, stands as a testament to his artistry and remains one of Blue Note?s most revered sessions.
This album (1960) was Brooks' only performance as a leader to be released during his lifetime. Five out of the six compositions on this album are Brooks originals. Next to Brooks, the personnel on this date consists of Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Duke Jordan (piano), Sam Jones (bass) and drummer Art Taylor. The solos are consistently excellent. This cd is worth investing.
