    Extremely rare LP from Roy Brooks originally released on Motown's jazz imprint Workshop Jazz label. Original copies cost £100s of pounds - with good reason!

    Roy Brooks (joined by fellow Detroit natives George Bohanon and Hugh Lawson, along with his Horace Silver Quintet bandmates Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, and Eugene Taylor) injects a Motor City soul-jazz groove into the hard bop root of this engaging 1964 album. Audio transferred from the analog tapes.

    Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
