Last week it came to my attention that father and son jazz drummers, Cecil Brooks II and Cecil Brooks III, would be performing a set together. Although they played on back-to-back nights, circumstances did not allow me to attend either evening.

Luckily, after searching the Internet far and wide, I found a writeup with some photos and video of the evening’s happenings. I gather I missed quite a show and will definitely make it a point to catch the next one. Hope you will, too!
