Roy Brooks • The Free Slave

 

Detroit drummer Roy Brooks was a skilled player who performed with many of jazz’s most important names during the 1960s. While he was a widely respected and talented musician, playing with everyone from Horace Silver to Yusef Lateef to Charles Mingus, he never achieved the widespread fame of many of his contemporaries because much of his adult life was spent battling bipolar disease.

The quintet album The Free Slave is one of Brooks’ few recordings as a leader, and finds him backed by such stars as Woody Shaw, George Coleman, Hugh Lawson and Cecil McBee.

El batería de Detroit Roy Brooks fue un experto intérprete que tocó con muchos de los nombres más importantes del jazz durante la década de 1960. Aunque fue un músico muy respetado y talentoso, que tocó con todo el mundo, desde Horace Silver hasta Yusef Lateef y Charles Mingus, nunca alcanzó la fama generalizada de muchos de sus contemporáneos porque pasó gran parte de su vida adulta luchando contra la enfermedad bipolar.

El álbum del quinteto The Free Slave es una de las pocas grabaciones de Brooks como líder, y en él aparece respaldado por estrellas de la talla de Woody Shaw, George Coleman, Hugh Lawson y Cecil McBee.
