Review by Dominik Kegel

Cecil Brooks III's album Live At Sweet Basil is a masterpiece of contemporary jazz music. Recorded live at the iconic Sweet Basil jazz club in New York City, the album captures the energy and spontaneity of the performance, as well as the virtuosity of the musicians. Brooks, a renowned drummer and bandleader, leads a talented ensemble that includes saxophonist Don Braden, trumpeter Duane Eubanks, pianist Carlton Holmes, and bassist Christian McBride.

The album features a mix of original compositions and jazz standards, all played with a fresh and dynamic approach. The opening track, "The Collective," is a hard-swinging tune with a catchy melody and intricate solos. Other highlights include the soulful ballad "I Waited For You," the funky "The Bottom Line," and the Latin-tinged "The Scorpion."

Throughout the album, Brooks demonstrates his impeccable sense of rhythm and his ability to drive the band forward with precision and creativity. Braden and Eubanks shine with their inventive solos, while Holmes and McBride provide a solid foundation for the group's sound. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, and the audience's enthusiastic response adds to the excitement of the recording.
