ART BROOKS "NIGHTCALLER" (IBMS 001, 1977)
Saw my rip reposted on another blog - might be interesting for our followers as well..
Below is what I wrote in December 2010 (a few days before New Year):
This one was a real discovery when I got it some weeks ago. I knew Art Brooks only from his work with Bill Dixon and from the last Collective 4tet "In Transition" on Leo, which - by the way - is excellent.
This is not the work of a "mere" student but the entirely realised and idiosyncratic composition from a still unsung master. I love it.
Lend your ear to the "Nightcaller".

Hi GD,
do you know wether Art Brooks has some other recordings available?
Here's a nice recent article about Arthur Brooks from a local newspaper:

I don't know if he has any other albums as a leader.

Totally overlooked it the first time around. Thanks for the re-up, onxidlib!
DITTO OTTO! (the echo is spreading:)
Could you repost this? Maybe it is just me, but my 1fichier was slow and then not available. Only time this has happened.
onxidlib, thank you!!
Now available on Bandcamp. I was lucky enough to score one of the 30 lp's he made available! Fantastic album with a Dixon vibe through and through. https://arthurbrooksensemblev.bandcamp.com/album/nightcaller
