Roy Hargrove Artist Snapshot:

Not content to be a highly respected post-bop trumpeter and flugelhorn player, displaying technical mastery and graceful expressiveness, Roy Hargrove continually explores musical possibilities. He has led jazz quartets, big bands, an Afro-Cuban ensemble called Crisol, and the experimental R&B band RH Factor. The Texas-born Hargrove studied briefly in the late 1980s at both the Berklee College of Music and the New School, and by 1990, at the age of 21, he'd already released his first solo album on Novus/RCA. He released several more records on RCA before moving to Verve, and continues to mesmerize audiences with his inventive playing and sonic experimentations.

Review

Down Beat (p.75) - "NOTHING SERIOUS sounds loose and joyous throughout, powered by Willie Jones III's hyperactive swirl of drums."
JazzTimes (p.95) - "[I]nventive and infectious music....Hargrove leads his quintet with a democratic spirit."
Vibe (p.144) - "[A] high-energy, straight-up jazz CD..."

Title Note

Roy Hargrove: Dwayne Burno (double bass).

Personnel: Roy Hargrove (trumpet, flugelhorn); Justin Robinson (flute, alto saxophone); Slide Hampton (trombone); Ronnie Matthews (piano); Willie Jones III (drums).

Recording information: Capitol Studios, Los Angeles, California.

As one of the "young lions" who emerged on the jazz scene in the late 1980s, trumpeter Roy Hargrove belongs to the jazz camp that harks back to the classic hard bop put out on Blue Note and Verve in the 1950s and early '60s. NOTHING SERIOUS, which was released by Verve in 2006, finds Hargrove working solidly in this mode and adding his own distinctive voice to the legacy.

Hargrove's quintet consists of top-tier musicians who push all the right buttons at every turn. It's hard to criticize the musicians for sticking to the history books when they're making music this fine (the Afro-Cuban-flavored title cut, and the haunting "Salima's Dance" are just two of the album's many highlights). Excellent songwriting and guest spots from trombone legend Slide Hampton round out the package. Solid from beginning to end, NOTHING SERIOUS proves that classic hard bop is still alive and kicking.
