Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of this 1974 album, a true holy-grail for Deep and Spiritual Jazz collectors around the world. This album was originally independently released to raise funds to combat the ongoing drought in the Sahel region of Africa (an area covering parts of Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Chad, Darfur, Sudan and Ethiopia). During his lifetime Brooks released precious few solo albums. His debut, "Beat", was released in 1963 on Motown"s then new off-shoot jazz label Jazz Workshop. In 1972, Brooks formed the Artistic Truth. Black Survival, the Sahel Concert at the Town Hall was originally released on the small independent Im-Hotep Records in Harlem in 1974.
