I really love this CD, is one of my favorites included in my collection of Kunzel recordings. It contains lots of hard to find music (Bill Conti's The Right Stuff) and also original material composed by musitians of the orchestra.

4 out of 5 stars Tina's best.......2005-03-28

This is my favorite of Tina Brooks's issued Blue Note CDs, though his others are not too far behind; all are very good. The title track, written by Brooks, is an excellent tune, a 24-bar blues, taken medium-up. "For heaven's sake" is a pretty ballad where everyone displays their musical skills. Blue Mitchell is on trumpet and he and Brooks weave their lyrical magic well together. A solid date.

5 out of 5 stars Long Ago and Far Away.......2001-12-13

Oh my. What a stable Blue Note had all those years ago. So many classics, so many players drifting in and out of each other's music. Turretine working for Grant Green who worked for Turrentine. Art Farmer and young Jackie McLean doubling up for classics such as Sonny Clark's Cool Struttin', and then Jackie showing up with Blue Mitchell for another classic, this one--Tina Brooks' Back to the Tracks.

What happened? Why did Blue Note hold on to this for decades?
Tina could write--his tunes swing with an overlay of blues, even an echo of gospel. McLean is loose on alto, although not as scorching as he gets in later years. Blue Mitchell goes strong on the trumpet, and Tina is in nobody's shadow as he works the tenor sax. Paul Chambers and Art Taylor lay down an insistent melody line, and everone else takes off from there, but noone goes so far away that the rhythm breaks down or the hooks fall apart.

Three of the five pieces belong to Tina, and his melodies swing in that hard bop way. And those eight to ten minute tracks let everyone stretch out, work together, branch out on their own.

Tragedy in Tina's life? Sure, but that's old news for jazz artists in the forties and fifties. Musically, Tina Brooks deserved a better fate. This is a classic, right up there with Morgan's "Sidewinder," Clark's "Cool Struttin,'" and Dexter Gordon's "Go."
Better late than never, sure, but not for Tina Brooks.

5 out of 5 stars Forgotten genius......??????.......2001-07-24

It feel sad when I listen to this recording.... such a talent like Tina Brooks and never any real recognition during his short life time. I came across his name on the legendary Jimmy Smith recording "The Sermon" I had never heard of him before that, but I was struck by his wonderful playing on that record. So now after some years I finally got my act together and purchased this CD. Tina Brooks plays with a tremendous blues feel,and his lines are very well constructed.... and he swings ... he has that kind of "metal sound" that comes from the Coltrane school, but he plays "smoother" and rounder" and more linear than for example Hank Mobley... that is probably the reason why I personally like Brooks better. What else??? Blue Mitchells playing is just wonderful, slightly more complex than on later recordings. his lines are of course quite simple but very effective and clear .... I am also in favour of Art Taylor, he is very light and bouncing and adds a lot to the overall groove. Paul Chmabers does swing hard.. altough I would like to hear his basslines more clearly defined, I do not know if this has anything to do with the original recording itself ??? My favourite track is the minor blues "The Blues and I" All in all a very nice Blue Note Hard Bop recording from the 60:s.

5 out of 5 stars A near forgotten voice........2000-12-05

Tina Brooks' music is enjoying more poularity today, thanks to Blue Note's massive reissue catalog, then it did during his life time. Part of this is due to the fact that hardly any of the material from sessions he lead was released domestically during his lifetime, another reason was his short period of activity. He faded from the music scene in the early sixties, spiraling into addiction only to die from kidney failure in 1974 at 42. As a tenor Tina's tone is something like Hank Mobley's, possibly brighter and a touch more brittle. He tracks through three originals and two standards backed by Blue Mitchell (another underrated musician) on trumpet, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, Art Taylor on drums, and on "Street Singer" altoist Jackie McLean. The performances are all swinging straight ahead hard bop in the classic Blue Note tradition, with Brooks displaying a tender ballad touch on "For Heaven's Sake". This is a perfect introduction to the lost talent of another fallen jazz hero, and worth the investment.

5 out of 5 stars Smokin' Quintet.......2000-01-06

This is a great session from 1960. Tina Brooks is a severly overlooked tenor sax player from the Blue Note stable. This session highlights his wonderful talents especially on the first three self penned compositions. He is backed by nothing but the best: Blue Mitchell(tpt), Jackie McLean(asax 1 cut only), Kenny Drew(p), Paul Chambers(b), Art Taylor(d). Highlights include a killer title track, a medium tempo deep groove in "Street Singer", the hard swingin' "The Blues And I" and the beautiful "For Heaven's Sake." Highly recommended pure hard bop.

    5 out of 5 stars v.......2007-01-01

    Vanessa Hudgens rocked as the brainy Gabriella Montez in the smash-hit DCOM High School Musical and now she has her own album called V. She's basically here becuz of High School Musical.
    Vanessa Hudgen's album rox, too. There is one song called Let Go where she takes a devilish approach. She curses. I can't believe people think she has to be a Disney Angel. C'mon, da gurl is 18 years-old. She's not-so-Disney Angelic Disney puts her out to be. And besides, she didn't even write the song!
    Here are my reviews of the songs:

    1. Come Back to Me by: Vanessa Hudgens- Sung like a true smash-hit song. Vanessa Hudgens really rox!!
    2. Let Go- She takes a devilish approach, but she sings beautifully!!
    3. Say OK- Girls can definitely relate to this song.
    4. Never Underestimate a Girl by: Vanessa Hudgens- This song is totally girl-powa!!
    5. Let's Dance- This is one of my fave songs. I just luv da joy of hip-hop dancing!!
    6. Drive- V takes a free approach, on da highway!!
    7. Afraid- I feel da song!!
    8. Promise- Ciara had a song called Promise, too. Both are great.
    9. Whatever Will Be- I totally understand it!!
    10. Rather Be With You- This song is pop but wit rock feel!!
    11. Psychic- I love the beats.
    12. Lose Your Love- This is just as good as Come Back to Me and Let's Dance.
    13. Dont Talk- A fantastic song!!
    14. Make You Mine- A perfect ending.

      Album Description

      Sweet Southern Soul, the new 10-song, all-original release from Atlanta blues rocker, Liz Melendez, interlaces her southwestern roots, her southern rock influences, and the great blues infused album rock of the 1970s that inspired her to pick up the guitar all tightly wrapped in an edgy and contemporary package.

      In contrast to her first release Mercy, which was a great showcase for her song writing and guitar chops, Sweet Southern Soul focuses more on using songs to tell a story. The cover inscription reads, "Estas Canciones Son La Historia de Mi Vida. (These songs are the story of my life)."

      Songs such as Justice County are inspired by her New Mexico outlaw heritage (her great great grandfather was a member of Billy the Kid's gang and fought in the legendary Lincoln County wars) written in true southern rock, outlaw anthem style while tracks like Battle Cry (The Rhythm of Suffering) infuse the pueblo indian drumming she heard as a child with the modern electric blues she loves today. More edgy tracks like No More Love and the title track Sweet Southern Soul will take listeners back to the time before lip-synch tracks and drum machines, when great blues rock powerhouse groups ruled the earth, while fan favorites like the delicate Drink from My Cup, the upbeat Again and Again, and the gospel juiced Third Degree round out the album making it a must have for LMB fans and rock and roll music lovers alike.

      Album Description

      The Side Effects of Dying, the debut CD from the singer/songwriter duo Reynolds Robinson, offers a very tongue-in-cheek look at Pam Reynolds' benchmark clinical death experience case that continues to rattle the foundations of science worldwide.

      Since 1991, the name of Atlanta-based Pam Reynolds has been synonymous with consciousness research. Television, print media and radio, both here and abroad, have detailed Pam Reynolds and her groundbreaking brain-aneurysm case. Before her clinical death experience, Pam was a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, orchestrator and songwriter.

      On The Side Effects of Dying, Pam has partnered with critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Rob Robinson. A Mississippi native now based in Nashville, Rob wrote and produced three CDs with his jazz/rock band, Fearless Freap, and later formed the group Whirlybird, which released a CD that charted at college radio and Modern A/C. Pam and Rob began writing together in 2003.

      The Side Effects of Dying was mixed by Rodney Mills (Atlanta Rhythm Section, Sheryl Crow) and takes the listener on a journey to the edge of consciousness and back again. Among its many highlights are the first track, "If I Live Through This," a humorous, cautionary tale about why you should never pick up women at the state fair; "Young Avenue" welcomes you to your independence with reckless abandon; "The Crying Fields" is an introspective look at the search for forgiveness; and "What Are We Waiting For?" challenges every fear that ever held you back. Two of the songs on the CD, "Coming Back to Life" and the title track, focus on Pam's near-death experience.

      5 out of 5 stars Heart Music.......2005-11-04

      What can I say about this music? I'll not pretend to be objective. I'm a Near Death Experiencer and I find my emotions and memories being taken in some colossal hand and squeezed; sometimes tearfully, sometimes wistfully and sometimes with humour. I love the immersion that only music can engender, being at once dispersed into the field of melodic imagination and simultaneously present, riveted to the words themselves, startling into recognition that which is simply *there*. It's sung with a curiously intimate inflection that is usually associated with conversation. LOVE IT!!!!!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Entertaining, pure solid sound.......2005-11-02

      I like this sound and I have to listen to it when I come in from the office. Even though I'm in the City, I'm transposed to the country roads with the top down and the sound turned up as high as it can go. Ah, what fun. The Side Effects Of Dying with Reynolds/Robinson is a definite for my Christmas lists. And it was inspired by a true story. What a story!

      I bought this cd based solely on a recommendation and was very surprised. I don't listen to much of the newer R&B normally, but am glad I checked this out. Quedon has stepped away from his former record deal and produced this album on his own. The sound is very Anthony Hamilton, but it has the feel and originality of Babyface. I respect any artist who does his/her own thing and strives to strike a nerve with the listener...Quedon definetely does that!!
