its great to see actual footage of Tina Brooks! its a rare thing like trying to find footage of Hank Mobley which for me would be incredible!! thanks Djrottermayer :D
I was thinking the same thing as the previous reviewer. If only there was some video of Hank Mobley--even 3 minutes--preferably between 1955 and 1965. This isn't exactly the environment Tina excells in (an introspective player who impresses you without the technique, top-tones, confrontations). He's a musical poet--not a boxer. Anyway, nice to be able to see him.
Wow just simply incredible performance. Really enjoy some Ray Charles songs and Tina Brooks was very talented player and did not get the recognition he deserved.
I last saw Fathead Newman, in San Francisco; at The Old Waldorf, in 1978. I have 35mm slides of his band. He played alto, tenor, and flute, that night.
David and Hank Crawford played on Eric Clapton's version of Hard Times on the Journeyman album. David took an unbelievably soulful solo. Arif Mardin arrangement.

ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY UNDERRATED TENORS EVER TINA BROOKS! AND DAVID FATHEAD WAS JUST INCREDIBLE!
Quincy Jones is a genius in his own right as well. This arrangement is so powerful from start to finish. Wow!😮
