godisozzy I think it's great that Walker et al. went back into recent jazz history to rediscover the unsung works Tina Brooks. This album challenges while never ceasing to swing. Favorite track: Gypsy Blue.

about

Tina’s Contemplation is drummer/composer Skip Walker’s jazz piano trio tribute to the late tenor saxophonist/Blue Note recording artist Harold “Tina” Brooks. Brooks is arguably one Blue Note’s most underrated artists. Walker aims to sonically rediscover and reinterpret the genius of Tina Brooks with a few of the artist’s landmark compositions and a few original compositions dedicated to Brooks. The project features the seasoned playing of pianist Travis Shook (Betty Carter) and bassist Essiet Okon Essiet (Kenny Garrett/Bobbly Watson/Mulgrew Miller).
