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.)

Checking out this recent release from Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson -- they used to play together in the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

The album is called "What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow? Fiddle and Banjo Music of North Carolina"

I love Giddens and like how diverse her musical perspective is, but it's really nice to hear her playing here, doubly so as she's with one of her early musical partners. They're so comfortable together.

The whole set feels like a homecoming in the speakers, an afternoon with friends. And of course the music itself is just like a big warm hug of the best sort.
