  1. Horace Silver Quintet, Silver’s Serenade, 1963 on Blue Note

    The quintent here is Silver joined by Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Junior Cook (tenor sax), Gene Taylor (bass), and Roy Brooks (drums). Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs, with Alfred Lion producing. My copy—via Amazon—is another Blue Note Tone Poet Series reissue from 2024. Yes, I realize there are other jazz labels and other reissue series - but so many of these are so good they are hard to resist.

  5. Roy Brooks w/ Woody Shaw, Carlos Garnett, Harold Mabern, and Cecil McBee - "Understanding" 3xlp #NowPlaying #RoyBrooks #WoodyShaw #CarlosGarnett #HaroldMabern #CecilMcBee #vinyl #vinylrecords #jazz @vinylrecords

    Live recording of 1970 performance in Baltimore, MD. Amazing performance, hard bop meets free jazz? I'm always amazed how many jazz musicians have Detroit roots - I can add Brooks to that list.
