Tenor Battle: Tina Brooks & David Fathead Newman with Ray Charles Orchestra

[@The90sGamingGuy]

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.

[@rasheedaljawar1239]

ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY UNDERRATED TENORS EVER TINA BROOKS! AND DAVID FATHEAD WAS JUST INCREDIBLE!

[@rasheedaljawar1239]

TINA WAS A UNBELIEVABLE COMPOSER ALSO!

[@frejazz2]

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

[@erricomalatesta8741]

d .byn yeah, criminally under-rated tenor player and composer. went downhill thru drugs. proper shame.

[@andrewgillis8572]

+Errico Malatesta yeah Mobley wrote so many cool tunes and a much-more recent Ray Orch veteran named Ricky Woodard plays many of them, fat as hell

[@jasonpfinch]

I love Mobley so much.

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.

[@MegaBruce247]

How was he?

[@tomrayburn9877]

Two Tenor Sax Maniacs and Hard Bop Kings! One from Dallas Texas.This kicks ass!Todays music is nowhere compared to this.R.I.P. Ray,Tina and Fathead

[@beverlyjordan5301]

That is definitely Tina Brooks! Nobody played like him. He may have been a junkie, but so was Ray. Maybe they copped together in Brazil. Ray would need some eyes.

[@coldskoolbeatz]

Quincy Jones is a genius in his own right as well. This arrangement is so powerful from start to finish. Wow!😮

[@wood112]

2 of my favorite tenors

[@lastknowngood0]

See those dudes with the tenor sax? They really know how to BLOW that ax! What I Say?

[@caponsacchi]

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.

[@zecho3535]

hey man i did see a video of live footage of mobley recently!! i dont know if you're still on here but ill try finding it

[@russt44]

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.

Thank you!!!

[@bluesoulreggae1356]

Love this

[@tomrayburn9877]

Milk Sammich thanks for the correction but Im sure I know more about James Clay,Arnett Cobb,Fathead and Eddie Vinson than you ever will.Spent plenty of time in the 80s with him(James was my lunch buddy) along with Big Al Dupree,Marchel Ivory, Alex Moore,Roger Boykin and somemore old guys who were golden.I dont google shit try to do mine from memory but as usual somedays better than others.Ever heard of Fran Gadison?See if you can google that.Aint it Fun being from Texas!

[@jeanhodgson8623]

That is definitely Tina Brooks. The sound is unmistakeable, plus, he has a crappy old tenor, because he was not well off. Compare it with the nice-looking Selmer that the other guy is playing.

[@andrea22213]

Tommy Black I think it's an early Conn. Possibly a Wonder, both bell keys are on the left.

[@trumpete53snoho]

@@andrea22213 Could even be an old Elkhart, I had an old one that had both on the left like that.

[@fearfeasa1]

@@andrea22213 It's a Conn 30M - the top of the Conn range !

Conn 10M

[@scrunchymacscruff1244]

@@bobblues1158 Well, that's encouraging. I got a 1963 10M last October. Maybe if I watch this video hard enough I can sound like Mr. Brooks.

[@markblakemore5681]

It’s a buffet dynaction tenor by the looks of it. Similar crook to conn 10m but slightly more ornate

[@majorsnodgrassthethird5699]

Both are known to me but forgive my ignorance who is who? I have seen Ricky Woodard doing a club tour in England. Very friendly guy.

[@byronsigrano6849]

Newman - stage right, Brooks - stage left

[@jasonpfinch]

Brooks is the lighter-skinned guy with the goatie.

[@bigeman25]

@@byronsigrano6849 Looking at this clip, Fathead is standing on the left side and Tina is standing on the right side.

[@williamfagan7835]

@@bigeman25 Correct, Newman on the left, Brooks on the right. Fathead has more of Hawk and Tina has more of Pres. You could tell that blindfold.
