Roy Hargrove's 2008 masterpiece, Ear Food.
Peter MartinHOST
Yes.
Peter MartinHOST
This is, I think, one of the greatest entry-point jazz albums for people that are jazz curious.
Peter MartinHOST
Wow

Roy Hargrove's 2008 masterpiece, Ear Food.
Peter MartinHOST
You know, I'm excited about this, because you love this record, I love this record.
Sandra St. VictorGUEST
Well, no, I mean, I was trained.
Sandra St. VictorGUEST
I mean, you know, I went to like music and art where Erica went, where Roy Hargrove went, Nora Jones.
V. Jeffrey SmithGUEST
All that shit went out the window when she met us.
Sandra St. VictorGUEST
They told me to stop being so perfect.
Bobby BroomHOST
I'm looking at today's playlist, and I appreciate that it contains a nice blend of past and present.
Bobby BroomHOST
I'm going to start today with Roy Hargrove, the trumpeter, who I can't believe is no longer sharing the stage with us.
Bobby BroomHOST
This one features Antonio Hart on alto saxophone, John Hicks on piano.
Bobby BroomHOST
From Diamond in the Rough, here's Benny Golson's Whisper Not.
17 MINS LATER
Bobby BroomHOST
That was his standard composition.
Bobby BroomHOST
Moments notice it featured Lee Morgan on the trumpet, Curtis Fuller trombone, Kenny Drew piano, Paul Chambers bass, and Philly Joe Jones drums.
Bobby BroomHOST
Before that, trumpeter Roy Hargrove from his debut recording from 1989, Diamond in the Rough, he played whisper not.
Bobby BroomHOST
I remember around those years I used to try to see Roy every chance I got when he was around with his group because it was such a dynamic ensemble that I couldn't imagine it being any less so than John Coltrane or Miles Davis's great groups.
MattHOST
uh well the color of david's hair has changed and the color of my hair has changed dave is just a year older than i am so um anyways he does have nine albums as a leader and that really impressed me as well but especially with all the side work that he does um as we spoke earlier malaza means molasses And then his side work is just super duper extensive.
MattHOST
He's worked with artists such as Roy Hargrove and Dizzy Gillespie.
MattHOST
There's a lot of names on the list that I don't know.
MattHOST
There's a lot of names that I can't pronounce, but Randy Brecker.
11 MINS LATER
MattHOST
And this is all part of our journey as unkind of sewers, you know, finding what we like and you guys finding what you like so that you can enjoy jazz as well.
MattHOST
absolutely so
DrewHOST
and cool and here's the fun thing dad you with matt and i we found our jam early on in the top 100 we knew what we were going to go to and like honest opinion i thought you were going to love this i thought this was right up in the jam of of your your style here now just like you matt i wanted to hear who else he played with and If you played with Roy Hargrove, I love you.
DrewHOST
So I love
DrewHOST
I've tried to stay with our artists this week as much as possible.
DrewHOST
I did veer left or right occasionally as the day need be, but I did put a lot of Roy Hargrove in my ears.
DrewHOST
As I have gone back to Clark Terry, you've got to, in order to innovate, you've got to assimilate, but in first you have to imitate.
DrewHOST
So I've used that advice a lot.
DrewHOST
So if I am working on a new standard, I'd love to see if Roy Hargrove played it.
DrewHOST
If he did, then I want to listen to how he played it, not just the solo, but the head as well.
DrewHOST
So I've listened to a lot of his tunes this week on kind of repeat.
DrewHOST
It's funny because I ended up on a different album altogether.
DrewHOST
Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove, The Directions in Music, live at Massey Hall.
MattHOST
Yeah.
DrewHOST
Why that album? Well, Brian Blades, the drummer on that.
20 MINS LATER
DrewHOST
Yes.
DrewHOST
Wayne Shorter, Alegria from 03.
DrewHOST
Herbie, Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove, Direction of Music.
DrewHOST
I'm like, wait a minute.
DrewHOST
I know that y'all rate this differently, but this is my jam.
DrewHOST
this really over these three years i begin to love this free jazz style but of course the soul behind this could be none other than to me the same soul of roy hargrove the passion the rawness the yeah
MattHOST
okay
DrewHOST
I love the fact that there's so much soul in the music.
DrewHOST
We didn't think we'd ever be able to pick out Blue Train.
DrewHOST
I didn't ever think I'd be able to be like, oh, yeah, that's Clifford Brown playing the trumpet in the background, or, oh, that's a Roy Hargrove tune.
DrewHOST
You just don't think about it.
DrewHOST
And then a year later, we're like, oh, yeah, Thomas Stanko all the way, baby.
DrewHOST
It's not Don Cherry on the trumpet that I'm enjoying.
DrewHOST
It's not Roy Hargrove or Dizzy.
DrewHOST
It's a vocal.
DrewHOST
But
DrewHOST
Sting, Grateful Dead.
DrewHOST
He's on a few songs from Roy Hargrove's albums.
DrewHOST
Uh, of course, Ellis Marsalis being his daddy, he's got three of them on that.
DrewHOST
Uh, of course, here's what hits me, is one of my, one of my earth-shaking albums, Black Codes from the Underground.
