Roy Brooks - The Free Slave - Muse Master Edition Series LP

Vinyl LP — Muse Master Edition Series Reissue

Originally released in 1972 on the iconic Muse label, The Free Slave captures drummer Roy Brooks at the peak of his powers — blending soul-rooted swing with the outer reaches of post-bop and avant-garde expression. This landmark live session brims with energy, featuring extended improvisations and tight interplay between some of the most vital players in modern jazz: Woody Shaw (trumpet), George Coleman (tenor sax), Hugh Lawson (piano), and Cecil McBee (bass).
