I'm really enjoying listening to Brooks at the moment. He's not that well known as one of the players that died young through drugs problems. Only one of his solo albums was released in his lifetime, (now you can get all four).
He played with Jimmy Smith and Kenny Burrell. I'm currently listengin to a Freddie Redd CD which has Tina and Jackie Mclean playing some fine stuff overshadowing the leader.
Swinging and bluesy, this is a fine player well worth checking out.
