Title: Good cd, but very reserved
Review: I'm going to keep this very short. Roy Hargrove is a marvelous trumpet player. He is one the very few vying for Lee Morgan's unoccupied spot as "the" trumpet player of his time. As good of a set as this is, and as "on" as Hargrove is, it is too relaxed for me to get overly excited. There are a few tunes that Hargrove really cuts loose on (e.g. the opener "Soppin' The Biscuit"), but he is largely reserved resulting in a cd I consider to be too laid back. I think I've been spoiled by Nicholas Payton.
Is the review positive or negative?
