    Dr. Brooks helped me overcome many studio production learning curves on a number of DAW platforms. He was a good friend and mentor when I was at my greenest. He has been at the center of current Jazz performance in Baton Rouge for quite some time now, and his vibraphone skills are second to none. Dr. Brooks teaches a variety of music production and performance skills at Baton Rouge Community College. In addition to his music skills, he is also a proficient martial artist, and has adopted many martial arts principles in his music performance. Quite an interesting fellow to look into...
