The Free Slave is a live album by drummer Roy Brooks recorded in 1970 and released on the Muse label in 1972.[1][2] It was the third album released on the label.

Reception

The Free Slave, according to Jim Dulzo in JazzTimes in 2003, "catches a live 1970 set with a band of stellar hard boppers that includes a very young Woody Shaw, plus George Coleman, Hugh Lawson and Cecil McBee. McBee and Brooks lay down a funky, intelligent groove and the band burns brightly through four extended tunes."[3]
