Roy Hargrove Quintet • With Tenors Of Our Time

Review
by Scott Yanow
Trumpeter Roy Hargrove has the opportunity of a lifetime on this recording, sharing separate songs with five great tenors: Johnny Griffin, Joe Henderson, Branford Marsalis, Joshua Redman, and Stanley Turrentine. Everyone fares well, including Hargrove's group (Ron Blake on tenor and soprano, pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Rodney Whitaker, and drummer Gregory Hutchinson). The young trumpeter (who is vying for Lee Morgan's unoccupied chair) keeps up with the saxophonists on this generally relaxed affair; recommended for hard bop fans.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El trompetista Roy Hargrove tiene la oportunidad de su vida en esta grabación, compartiendo canciones por separado con cinco grandes tenores: Johnny Griffin, Joe Henderson, Branford Marsalis, Joshua Redman y Stanley Turrentine. Todos lo hacen bien, incluido el grupo de Hargrove (Ron Blake como tenor y soprano, el pianista Cyrus Chestnut, el bajista Rodney Whitaker y el baterista Gregory Hutchinson). El joven trompetista (que compite por la silla desocupada de Lee Morgan) sigue el ritmo de los saxofonistas en este asunto generalmente relajado; recomendado para los aficionados al hard bop.
