ROY HARGROVE is back with 2 new CD's..D'angelo featured.. Roy Hargrove is back yall with not one, but 2 new CD's. One with his RH Factor incarnation titled "Distractions"(D'angelo is featured on this one) and one with his quintet titled "Nothing Serious" which is all acoustic 
I havent heard either but I'm going to purchase them now! Im so excited!
Has anyone purchased either of these CD's yet? [Edited 5/14/06 13:19pm] here's some snippets of a review of the DISTRACTIONS album from allmusic.com "There is a much more urban soul feel to this date, and the grooves themselves are tougher. On the opener, "Distractions," which is a recurring theme on the disc, the horns and guitar are knotty — they touch on Miles, but they don't drift. The sound is tight, edgy. Straight-up urban soul gets the nod on a few cuts here, most notably "Crazy Race," the smooth funk of "Holdin' On," and "On the One," all tracks featuring Neufville on vocals. "Family" is an impressionistic jazz-soul ballad. this sounds VERY interesting here: "Kansas City Funk" and "A Place" are hardcore funk (the latter in the manner of P-Funk and the Ohio Players)> 
here's a bit of the review concerning D Angelo's song.. "Bull***t" is a blip-hop track. D'Angelo adds texture and rhythm (he produced the song), and this may be the album's only throwaway, as it goes nowhere. It's also the only tune here that doesn't feel "song"-directed. It lacks lyricism, and goes for a Miles On the Corner vibe but never gets there. Still, that's a small complaint in lieu of this deeply gratifying, fun, and in-the-pocket album. It's perfect for a steamy summertime." [Edited 5/14/06 13:22pm] | |
