Unbelievable performance. Understand in the context of this show, they saved Chris botti for last because he is technically more financially successful, but he is the Kenny g of trumpet jazz. Roy Hargrove wiped the floor on the show, and bottis performance, while not bad, was a far cry from this bebop inspired showing. Roy once said if you don't love music and playing music like food, and playing all night is more nourishing than a meal, then you don't want it enough.
Roy both burned and sang on the trumpet in a compelling way. One of the most mercilessly swinging Some of the most sophisticated yet unabashedly earthy swangin lines since Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard; some of the most achingly lyrical uses of vibrato on his held notes since Woody Shaw.
@@Dan_Dropper I’m a longtime fan and I got to know him personally thru the jam sessions. All I was saying is that his playing here isn’t melancholy. That’s not saying he doesn’t play melancholy as well, he’s just simply not doing it here. He’s coming from a more firey place here. I do agree with you that he was a melancholy master as well. His version of “Speak Low” is a haunting example.

RIP the best melancholic trumpet player
Nothing melancholic about his playing here. It’s in your face, full of joy, irrepressible soul, and unquenchable fire.
@@williemakeit2346 a longtime Hargrove fan, would understand my statement 😊
