Roy Hargrove: Exciting Jazz Artist!
Roy Hargrove creates energetic joy, a kind of stirring trumpet jazz that really draws you in. The man who came out of Texas has a vibrant, edgy sound that reminds one a bit of the fabulous Freddie Hubbard. They say Hargrove met the marvelous Wynton Marsalis early. Hargrove (like Marsalis) has a lot of fire in his playing. And it is so "right on!" Listened today to a great tune...'Strasbourg St. Denis' and it had the feisty bright sound that made my day feel so good. Roy Hargrove and his quintet make modern music, a jazz that truly engages the listener. Try some of the profound, ultra-creative jazz of Roy Hargrove if you want a good jazz experience.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
