The Roy Hargrove Quintet - earfood
Easily streamed, and found on CD, but the only place to source it on vinyl is Japan.
However you get it, this 2008 release, with his touring quintet, is a delight from first (Cedar Walton's I'm Not So Sure) to last (Sam Cooke's Bring it on Home to Me).
(Gerald Clayton, on piano, is all over modern jazz LPs, including his own, and always on point.)

Really excited for a new album from Gerald Clayton, "Ones and Twos," out today on Blue Note.
Clayton is maybe my favorite jazz-ish pianist these days? His last solo outing, "Bells on Sand," is near the very top of my favorite records from the last X years list.
And on this album, he's here with a number of inimitable players and kindred spirits, a line-up that definitely suggests that this record will lean into the groove:
Joel Ross (vibes)
Elena Pinderhughes (flute)
Marquis Hill (trumpet)
Kendrick Scott (drums)
Kassa Overall (producer, percussion)More about the album here:

Quite a nice night of music listening. Has included the following albums.
#GeraldClayton - Bells on Sand
#Enji - Ulaan
#MarleneRibeiro - What It Is
And more #Enji right now, this time 2021's Ursgal lp. All terrific albums in their own right.
What vibe is this I am trying desperately to extend? I like it.

CW: #Music #NowPlaying
Spending the day listening to a mix of 2022 releases, both favorites and stuff I haven't gotten to yet.
First up was the terrific #BellsOnSand release from pianist #GeraldClayton. Easily one of my favorite records of the year with Clayton sharing takes on Mompou, the standard "My Ideal," and terrific new compositions. Very thoughtful, purposeful, reflective. (Clayton had a great year, playing on some of my other favorite jazz-ish releases including "Four" from #BillFrisell and one of the trio records from #CharlesLloyd, "Ocean."
#NowPlaying this year's release from #DamienJurado, #ReggaeFilmStar. Like Clayton's lp, Jurado is often mining a sort of lush but quiet minimalism on this one (some nice string arrangements). There's a story/concept running through that I haven't quite unraveled yet. Jurado's lyrics shine bright as always:
The secret life of photographers
Choreographers
Pornographers
Do they pray sitting silently?
Sunday morning comes
What do they believe?
