Roy Brooks & The Artistic Truth - Black Survival "The Sahel Concert" At Town Hall [P-Vine Japan]

Format: LP pressed in Japan. Complete edition + Obi Strip.

Roy Brooks began his career in the 1950s and remained at the forefront of the American jazz scene until his death in 2005. He started with Horace Silver's combo in the early sixties and went on to play in the bands of influential artists such as Stanley Turrentine, Yusef Lateef, and Charles Mingus.

He was also part of the legendary Detroit spiritual jazz label, TRIBE, and M’Boom—an avant-garde project where all members were percussionists—led by the legendary drummer Max Roach, having a huge impact on the jazz scene in the United States.

Roy Brooks and The Artistic Truth, the spiritual jazz group led by Roy Brooks himself, is an expression of deeply refined Blackness and sharp spirituality.

This is the ultimate exponent of spiritual jazz, considered one of the rarest, most spiritual, and grooviest records of all time. The tension-filled sound, with highly influential African-American musicians like Joe Bonner (piano), Reggie Workman (bass), Sonny Fortune (alto sax), and Cecil Bridgewater (trumpet), is as “definitive” as that of Ethnic Expressions. A fundamental spiritual jazz album.
