HMV Review

Although a four-LP Complete Blue Note Recordings box set on Mosaic purportedly includes every recording led by the obscure but talented tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, this 1994 CD has previously unreleased alternate takes of True Blue and Good Old Soul that Mosaic overlooked. Brooks is teamed with the young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard (on one of his earliest sessions), pianist Duke Jordan, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Taylor on a set dominated by Brooks' originals. None of the themes may be all that memorable (Nothing Ever Changes My Love for You comes the closest), but the hard bop solos are consistently excellent and the charts are tight enough to be noteworthy. Finally, Blue Note reissued the CD in 2005 as part of its Rudy Van Gelder Editions, Rovi

    「元」幻の名盤。ブルックスのテナーは、バリバリ吹くでもなく、 ソフトな音色を聴かせるでもなく、中庸な感じ。 親しみやすく聴ける。典型的なブルーノートのハードバップ。

    アルバムタイトル通りのブルーな夜が似合う曲もあるが、暖かみのある曲も収録した、ブルックスの最高傑作。ハバードの初リーダーアルバム等でも共演しており、ハバードとの息もピッタリ。また、ジョーダンのブルーノート作品への参加は希少か。特にオープニング曲「グッド・オールド・ソウル」のアドリブでは、ブルーノートの常連ピアニストとは一味違った、叙情性を感じさせるピアノ演奏を聞かせます。

    ブルーノートのジャケットって本間にかっこいいです。ほかのレーベルも内容は勿論、ジャケットにも目を取られるのはたくさんありますが、Ｂ・Ｎみたく沢山ありませんよね。この前おとんがＢ・Ｎのジャケット写真集みたいなん買ってたので盗み見してました。また気にいったん会ったら買ってみよ。いいネタ見つかるとええな〜。間違いないけど。
