Biography

Harold Floyd (Tina) Brooks (June 7, 1932–August 13, 1974), was an American hard bop tenor saxophonist.

He is best known for his work for Blue Note Records, for whom he recorded four sessions as leader between 1958 and 1961, and for whom he also recorded as a sideman with Kenny Burrell, Freddie Hubbard, Jackie McLean, Freddie Redd, and Jimmy Smith. McLean and Redd also appeared on Brooks’ albums, and McLean and Brooks’ musical performances in The Connection, a play by Jack Gelber with music by Redd, were highly regarded. Brooks was McLean’s understudy in The Connection, but performed on an album of music from the play.

Who played hipper licks than Tina? That cat was super-bad and it's a damn shame he isn't celebrated more here in the States. Long live Tina Brooks!

I love Tina man; he runs the gambit of emotions when he plays. Along with a command of the bop language: a great understanding of the use of harmony and the ability to just out right play his ass off. This is what made him one of the all time greats in my book.

Depressing me to see how SHORT the lives of some of these greats were...
