In addition to appearing as a sideman on dates led byKenny Burrell,Freddie Hubbard, andJackie McLean, tenor saxophonistTina Brooksrecorded several of his own Blue Note sessions as a leader between 1958-61. However, only one would be released during Brooks too-brief lifetime, the hard bop masterpieceTrue Blue. A jewel of the Blue Note catalog, the album was recorded in June 1960 just one week after Brooks appeared on Hubbards own Blue Note debutOpen Sesame. Once again Brooks and Hubbard joined forces on the frontline withDuke Jordanon piano,Sam Joneson bass, andArt Tayloron drums. The quintet take flight on five of Brooks distinctive compositions including Good Old Soul, Up Tights Creek, and the grooving title track before closing with an elegant version of the standard Nothing Ever Changes My Love For You.
