***** Rok, what albums do you have with Tina Brooks as a side man? ***** As leader:
As a sideman:

Acman, There's a lot of truth in what you said about this generational thing in regard to hearing new music, but now I've discovered there's a Joker in the deck; let me explain. I had been wandering why I didn't have some of Grant Green's records, and it's because they were not released at the time they were recorded. Now I've got to find Tina Brooks recordings, this keeps me looking backward as opposed to forward. Enjoy the music. |
Tina Brooks is stated as sideman on three Kenny Burrell's albums, among those, I would certainly recommend this one... I am sure that Orpheus will love the parts where Timmons is playing https://youtu.be/1RJAvhfo4Ws Frogman, speaking of drug abuse, the answer is never simple, but I am sure that when there is 'epidemic' spread, than it must be conected to the establishment. I am not refering to the sources from popular culture, as now often we can see a main stream movie that speaks about conections between 'state' and crime in some period when 'black' funding was od special interest to some services because of some 'higher' goal. My experience is rather from first hand, 25 years ago, when my country was in armed conflict (war, bloody, but on limited scale) with its neighbours. In those times, heroin abuse spread like flew. No way in hell that it could be 'accident' or caused by rather gloomy prospects of future of some folks. Even more, my home town, which was never part of actual conflict, had a highest rate of users in a country. I think that first rule of bussines is that you must create a demand, and than you can sell the product. It took couple of years until the rave or techno ( the only good thing about it) music has become a major trend, than heroin became a drug that was considered 'out of fashion' and was replaced with other synthethic drugs, like ectasy, but not before it killed (one way or another) quite a lot young people. So, like Rok said, the only way is to prevention, but when somebody flows the streets with cheap and powerfull stuff, there are lots of people that will hook on it. What puzzles me, (reading about it, in US) is that story about heroin and its effects is known and notorius, and yet, still there are people who will risk their lifes by tasting it. Its not my intention to comment political events in your country, but US is certainly a country with lots of illogical things, from a European perspective. Maybe the best way to look the cause of such things is to understand who profits from it, on larger scale of things Anyway, back to jazz. Maybe we should start to post albums that were not issued on time on their recording, but later, for reasons that we will never know for sure. Here is album of Bobby Hutcherson,'The Kicker' with same personal that recorded Grant Green's Idle moments. This album was released many years later. https://youtu.be/kv8I3QzIqQc |
