This is the sixty fourth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

The son of the masterful steel drum player Earl Brooks Sr, Earl Brooks Jr. has been playing steel drums since he was three.

He attended the Berklee College of Music in 2010 and along the way learned drums, marimbas and piano but the steel drum has always been his main instrument.

On this solo LiveStream from June 24, 2020, Earl Brooks, Jr. displays his unique sound and impressive technique on originals, folk songs, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and “What A Wonderful World,” interacting with a keyboardist and also playing some drums.
