Tina Brooks – Minor Move: Blue Note Tone Poet Series

Tone Poet offer is available only for in-store purchases or pick-up.

Soulful hard bop tenor-saxophonist Tina Brooks’ passionate full sound and forward-looking style, along with his exceptional compositional gifts, made him a powerful force during his prime years. Brooks only led four sessions for Blue Note during his lifetime with the 1958 recorded/1980 released Minor Move being his first. It finds him fronting a first rate hard bop line-up featuring pianist Sonny Clark, trumpeter Lee Morgan, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Blakey who deliver fresh takes on the standards “The Way You Look Tonight” and “Everything Happens to Me” and improvise their hearts out on the originals “Nutville” and “Minor Move.”
