sal Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 I did like their verison of "Una Mas", but I didn't like the album as a whole and ended up selling it. This was like 4 years ago though....maybe now things would be different. Quote
Bright Moments Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 can't make it much easier than this! http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid...4197&pr=3254093 Quote

This was like 4 years ago though....maybe now things would be different. ← I think the record starts off hot and tends to flag in the middle. The closer, "Mongo 'n' McCoy," is sick, though. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 Got this one from one of the CD clubs when it originally came out and on the whole it's a . Good reminder for me to dig it out again. Quote
chris olivarez Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 On the whole good work by Roy Hargrove and the band. Quote
mikeweil Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 That was one hot mother of a band - rhythmic fireworks all the way. Too bad he couldn't keep it together, although all involved asked the manager to make it possible. Quote
Bright Moments Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 perhaps somewhere out there some boots exist................ Quote

B. Goren. Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 This is a good one but I prefer his earlier recordings (especially his recordings with Antonio Hart) over of his later ones, including this one. Quote
jazzmessenger Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 I like this CD (although I haven't listened to it for a long time...). Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 I love it and think it's Hargrove's best by far. Quote
