George Klein presents the second hour of a two-part feature on tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, focusing on two of his Blue Note albums as a leader in the early 1960s that were unreleased at the time: Back to the Tracks and The Waiting Game. Sidemen included Blue Mitchell, Johnny Coles, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers, Wilbur Ware, Art Taylor, and Philly Joe Jones, with Jackie McLean added on one track. Source for these sessions is the Mosaic boxed set of The Complete Tina Brooks Blue Note Recordings.
