Ear Food

I considered Hargrove's album "The Vibe" to be his best for a long time. He has exceeded that set with this masterwork. The last song does not really fit with the rest, but that does not matter. The sonic quality of this recording is also a cut above most anything I have ever heard. Each instrument is so distinct and clear. More importantly, the music grooves.

As usual, Roy delivers a 5+ star performance. This CD is in continuous play in my car, and has been since the day it came out.

The other gem on this recording is Gerald Clayton. He is one incredible jazz pianist; watch for his CD to come out soon as I have no doubts that it will be 5 star as well. Gerald and Roy are playing together more and more, and they compliment each other like no other two musicians that I have ever heard.

As fantastic as this CD is, there is no comparison to hearing Hargrove live. I have seen him on several occasions and he brings down the house every time! He is respectful of the other musicians on the stage, and he bleeds talent. Pay any amount and make any effort to see him. You'll come away from his performance just wanting more more more.

I absolutely love this album!Roy Hargrove has done it again,but everything he does is great!

Roy Hargrove has never disappointed me. Ear Food is another example of his fine musicianship. I highly recommend this disc .

I usually don't care for Hargrove's albums - but this one is amazing. A diamond. Well recorded and rehearsed. Everything is on time and on target.
