A classic.Most known for "Free Slave" LP the"Town Hall" Concert is amazing.I don't have my turntable set up but want to here the trio LP "The Smart Set" on Baystate (heard one cut which one can hear cut of at Private Press.Now if I can just find a CD or drop of "Duets In Detroit".Brooks was a great who should have gotten more chances as a leader.
Keep it up Reza
Cheers
