I'm going to sell my kick drum now and buy something else with the money. Obviously don't need it.

[SigDrums]

0 thumbs down says it all.



[Zarniwoop9]

woohoo! seattle! and roy hargrove!

[djkcel]

Roy Hargrove has such a big sound and a commanding presence. But if you ever see him sit in at the jam sessions in NY, the dude's like 5'2! It's crazy!

[stratsrulefool]

that is the freshest jacket I have seen in a long time

[gridlock27]

Any one know the changes to this tune?

[jazzfunkful]

Don't need no stinking kick drum!

[willie33040]

@jazzfunkful I know right? ( ^ _ ^ )

[reggiep671]

Roy Hargrove used to come to Chicago on Thanksgiving weekend every year (2006-2008 roughly), in 2009 he came on New Year's weekend. I saw him at the Jazz Showcase the night after NYE, and they played an amazing set. They got an enthusiastic standing ovation that didn't stop. When they took the bandstand again for the encore, "Soulful" is what they played and it was simply the best thing I've ever heard. He dedicated it to Chicago..."...this is what I think of you, Chicago...Soulful."

[Zombbg4]

Roy is high as a mofo.

[rmoraespinto]

Liked it all. For years, now, I am a big fan of Roy's. A special comment about the dynamic playing of Montez, from piano to forte on a studio drumkit - great musician, fantastic ears!

[MilesTrane21]

hahahaha he looks so high

[jazzylover59]

Roy says, "The working title right now is "Soulful." It is definitely a favorite at the shows. Just don't call it "Soulful Kisses." That title is taken by Russell Malone.

[jazzylover59]

I only hear "Soulful," not the other two songs listed in the description.

I was delivering flowers when this program was on the radio. Thank you for getting them in the studio and sharing their music with the fans.

[TheRealManzilla]

Didn't even realize the drummer didn't have a kick till the camera showed his solo break. Dope

[lukeonbass]

WOOO! So good and it was even better live!

[realself1]

There are interesting implications to this harmony/melody, beyond the obvious.

[saxman1vl]

wow, this makes me want to hear more and more jazzzzz, awesome

[willie33040]

Nice! So relaxing and I love the complexity of it all.

[jz726]
