His first CD, “Somewhere On Earth, The Bangkok Sessions”, was released in 2002. That same year, Brooks and his ensemble were featured on the first-ever “Hennessy X.O. Smooth & Mellow Jazz Tour”. After rave reviews, the ensemble was invited to perform again in 2003.
Along with leading his ensembles, Brooks has performed with Donald Byrd, The Drifters, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Charli Persip’s Super Sound, Eldee Young, The Apollo Theater Band, and The Harlem Renaissance Orchestra, The Peter Duchin Orchestra, and others.
After obtaining his M.F.A. from Queens College’s Aaron Copland School of Music in Queens, New York, Brooks toured Europe with the Broadway musical “Bubbling Brown Sugar” from 1993 to 1994.
In 1999, Brooks made his acting debut in the Woody Allen film “Sweet & Lowdown”.
In 2005, he performed on the soundtrack and acted in the DVD of the original stage play “It’s A Hard Bop Life” by Gregory Charles Royal.
