Roy Brooks - 'The Free Slave’ LP reissue.
Remastered & cut AAA directly from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. Pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal Media and housed in Stoughton Old Style® tip-on jackets. Includes an insert with newly written liner notes by Shannon J. Effinger and Barney Fields, featuring a rare photograph by Raymond Ross.

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).
