Artist:Roy Hargrove
Song:Devil Eyes
Album:Nothing Serious
I've talked before about trumpeter Roy Hargrove straddling jazz & neo soul. This year he released two CDs simultaneously. One is by his neo soul group RH Factor called Distractions. Nothing Serious is straight ahead jazz. Take your pick. The musicians include Justin Robinson on sax & flute, Dwayne Burno on bass (he wrote Devil Eyes), Ronnie Mathews on piano & Willie Jones II on drums. It sounds great and I don't have a preference for either style of music. But it's interesting that Verve has asked him to make separate recordings and they'll market them to different audiences.
