Phoenix Suns coverage documents Tisdale describing music as his first love and explains how a seven-song demo reached Motown before becoming his recording career.
A Washington Wizards tribute records that Tisdale released Power Forward in 1995 while still playing, reached No. 4 on Billboard's contemporary jazz chart, and later had Face to Face and Way Up! reach No. 1.
AllMusic's discography traces Tisdale's jazz catalogue from Power Forward in 1995 through Rebound in 2008, with the posthumous The Fonk Record following in 2010.
