Roy Hargrove, Approaching Standards. This is Hargrove in his early days. Wonderful playing. We had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Toronto Jazz Festival a few years ago -- just an outstanding artist. And his quintet was stellar. They brought the house down!

He was there, with his black lacquer Selmer tenor. I remember him sitting down, trying out different mouthpieces. It was fantastic to hear that sound so close up. What a thrill.
We flew back just a few days later and I found out that he had died, whilst we were travelling.
For me he was the greatest sax player of all time, unsurpassed.
Carmen McRae is probably my favourite jazz singer.Quote:
