Our Take

The latest offering from jazz legend Roy Brooks, "Understanding", is a delightful trip through the eclectic mind of a seasoned musician. Clearly inspired by the likes of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, Brooks effortlessly weaves together intricate melodies and pulsating rhythms to create a truly unique listening experience.

From the opening track, "Soulful Journey", Brooks immediately grabs the listener's attention with his infectious energy and undeniable talent. His drumming is tight and precise, perfectly complemented by the skilled musicianship of his fellow bandmates.

Tracks like "Blue Skies" and "Groove Time" showcase Brooks' versatility as a drummer, effortlessly shifting between different styles and tempos. The funky bass lines and soulful saxophone melodies add layers of depth and complexity to each composition, keeping the listener engaged from start to finish.

But it's on the hauntingly beautiful "Midnight Serenade" where Brooks truly shines. The haunting piano chords and ethereal vocals create a sense of melancholy and longing that is simply captivating. It's a masterclass in emotive storytelling through music.

Overall, "Understanding" is a triumph for Roy Brooks and a testament to his enduring talent and creativity. With its infectious rhythms and evocative melodies, this album is sure to delight jazz fans old and new alike. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let Roy Brooks take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Cheers!
