miles ahead my first roy hargrove album. very pleased with his music. i found it hard to take the new young jazz musicians seriously. mr hargrove continues where miles, joe, and herbie met and went seperate ways. excellent music.
Davis memories! The velvety sound of this singular interpreter makes of his album a gratifying experience in the truest sense of the term. Hargrove' s arrangements are based on classic patterns of the Fifties. Surrounded by a warmth environment with eloquent sensuality and sophisticated rapture.
A corker album.
Listen up.... Absolutely one of the best!!! Wonderful to listen to over and over again. He is definitely one of my top 3 jazz musicians! Rh Factor is also a really great album. This is worth every cent...trust me!!!!!Jimmy Smith This is my all time favorite CD. I have been listening to this CD constantly since it was released. Goes to show these new schoolers from Verve can play. Highly advised.This is a MUST HAVE for Real Jazz Fans This is a masterpiece! There are tracks on this CD that you will play over and over again; and there are none that you will want to skip. The hard bop tunes like "Brian's Bounce" get your feet tapping; but the real treasures on this CD are the ballads. Try not to get weepy-eyed when you play "The Nearness of You", or during Christian McBride's "A Dream of You" (where Stephen Scott's piano solos are simply brilliant). Hargrove's clear and expressive tone on the trumpet is difficult to describe (like Billie Holliday's voice?). You can feel every note he plays. Finally, you will marvel at the stellar musicians he has assembled, including McBride, Scott, David "Fathead" Newman, and Wynton Marsalis. This is the best CD I've purchased in the last ten years.
If you love real acoustic jazz, and especially if you love the trumpet and piano, you have to get this.
