About
Roy Brooks wraps up the solo sequence with a single chorus on drums, the last of three improvisations. Taken at a breakneck swing tempo of 306 BPM over the 56-bar AABA in E♭, the improvisation demands exceptional technical command and quick melodic thinking. Drummer Roy Brooks closes the solo sequence with a single chorus that showcases his dynamic command and rhythmic creativity. Recorded for the album Horace-Scope in 1960, the performance captures Roy Brooks at 21 to 22 years old. Yeah! is a jazz composition by Horace Silver, first recorded for his 1960 Blue Note album Horace-Scope. "Yeah!" is an emphatic, up-tempo performance from Horace Silver's 1960 Blue Note album Horace-Scope, featuring an unusually long 56-bar AABA form that gives the soloists expansive room to stretch out.
Roy Brooks was 21 to 22 years old at the time.
