Timeline

1944

Harvey Brooks (born Harvey Goldstein; July 4, 1944) is an American bass guitarist.

1960

Brooks came out of a New York music scene in the early 1960s.

One of the younger players on his instrument, he was a contemporary of Felix Pappalardi and Andy Kulberg and other eclectic bass players in their late teens and early twenties, who saw a way to bridge the styles of folk, blues, rock, and jazz.

1965

Brooks got his first boost to fame when he was asked to play as part of Bob Dylan's backing band on the sessions that yielded the album Highway 61 Revisited (1965) — in contrast to the kind of folkie-electric sound generated by the band on his previous album, Bringing It All Back Home (1965).

Producer Bob Johnston and Dylan were looking for a harder, in-your-face electric sound, and Brooks, along with guitarist Michael Bloomfield and organist Al Kooper, provided exactly what was needed.

Brooks was also part of Dylan's early backing band which performed at Forest Hills, Queens and the Hollywood Bowl in 1965.

This band also included Robbie Robertson (guitar) and Levon Helm (drums).

From the Dylan single and album, Brooks branched out in a multitude of directions, as he went on to play on records by folk artists including Fred Neil, Eric Andersen at Vanguard Records, Richie Havens, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tom Rush and Jim & Jean at Verve Records, transitional electric folk-rockers such as David Blue (whose producer was looking for a sound similar to that on Highway 61 Revisited), and various blues-rock fusion projects involving Bloomfield and Kooper.

Brooks met Michael Bloomfield at the Highway 61 Revisited sessions and was recruited to join Bloomfield's Electric Flag based in Mill Valley, California.

1967

The Flag only lasted in its original line-up for about a year, and recorded three albums: a soundtrack for the film The Trip (1967), A Long Time Coming (1968) and The Electric Flag, An American Music Band (1968).

After the Electric Flag disbanded, Brooks took up temporary residence at the Chateau Marmont hotel on Sunset Strip.

1968

From there he played on Cass Elliot's Dream a Little Dream (1968), and with Nick Gravenites and Pete Welding he produced Quicksilver Messenger Service (1968) for Capitol Records.

Brooks also played live with the Doors at the Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York and was on the Michael Bloomfield/Al Kooper/Stephen Stills Super Session (1968) release.

His song "Harvey's Tune" appeared on this album.

Brooks moved east to meet Crosby, Stills & Nash in Sag Harbor, New York.

1969

Brooks also played on The Doors' The Soft Parade (1969) album on the songs "Touch Me", "Tell All the People" and "Wishful Sinful".

Producer Paul Rothchild wanted to give the Doors a fresh sound.

He hired Brooks to play and help organize the rhythm tracks and Paul Harris to write some string and horn arrangements.

On the sessions in August and November 1969, two bassists were used.

Brooks played electric bass while Dave Holland simultaneously played acoustic bass.

1970

Musical and business disagreements caused Brooks and Paul Harris to leave the band and move over to John Sebastian's house to begin pre-production on John B. Sebastian (1970) album.

The Manhattan sessions to finish the album were produced by Paul Rothchild and recorded at Jerry Ragovoy's Hit Factory.

After buying a loft in what was to become The Soho section of Greenwich Village Brooks got a call from Jack Gold, vice president of Columbia Records, offering him a job as staff producer.

He connected with producer Teo Macero, who led him to Miles Davis.

Brooks contributed to Bitches Brew (1970) and Big Fun (1974).

In 1970 Brooks returned to the studio with Dylan for the New Morning album playing on The Man In Me, If Not For You, and Day Of The Locusts, Seals & Crofts' Summer Breeze and Down Home albums, and Paul Kantner's Blows Against the Empire. He also recorded with John Martyn, The Fabulous Rhinestones, Fontella Bass, John Sebastian, Loudon Wainwright III, John Cale, and Paul Burlison.

1982

Later he toured with Clarence Clemons and the Red Bank Rockers in 1982 and Paul Butterfield Blues Band in the late 1980s.

1991

Brooks played with Donald Fagen's Rock and Soul Revue from 1991–1992.

1994

After a short stint with Danny Kortchmar's Slo Leak band in Westport CT, he relocated to Tucson Arizona in 1994 continuing to perform and record.

2006

In 2006, Light in the Attic, a Seattle-based record label, reissued the 1971 album In My Own Time by Karen Dalton, which was arranged and produced by Brooks.

2009
