Cecil Brooks III selling his jazz club in West Orange?

Is the world-famous Cecil Brooks III looking to sell his jazz club in West Orange, NJ? I don’t know, but evidence points to this being the case. The listing says a “Local Well Known Restaurant & Jazz Club” in “West Orange, NJ” is for sale with an asking price of $1,000,000.

The ad also mentions the owner is “the Cosby Show’s drummer,” which after some research I confirmed was Cecil Brooks III.

If this is indeed true, I hope the club ends up in good hands. I’ve attended a few shows there. My high school orchestra even had a reunion there in early 2009. It’s a great venue with a parade of fantastic musicians stopping by week after week.
