We do the occasional drive-the-artists thing if they want to go somewhere after a show. Our favorite passengers to date: James Carter and Cyrus Chestnut...I think James plays his horn in his sleep.Pamela Espelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239608155646396942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608328763829731453.post-9770611210265068192007-12-02T19:49:00.000-08:002007-12-02T19:49:00.000-08:00I had the sheer joy and pleasure of being the driv...I had the sheer joy and pleasure of being the driver for the Roy Hargrove Quintet's for four days when they came to the Centrum/Port Townsend Jazz Festival. I got to hear a little about Roy's different band configurations throughout his career. I then enjoyed being at all four nights of the Jazz Alley (Seattle) performances when they returned two weeks later. A great group of guys -- fun and friendly. I first met Roy by introducing him and his then quintet at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, Feb. 2006. His two most recent simultaneously released (May 2006) recordings are Nothing Serious (the quintet) and Distractions (RH Factor).jazzylover59https://www.blogger.com/profile/03694591451075767522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608328763829731453.post-16193741755380091872007-12-02T11:08:00.000-08:002007-12-02T11:08:00.000-08:00Thanks for the clarification.

I've seen Roy play with a number of different configurations over the years, and the information I had before he showed up most recently was the older quintet.Pamela Espelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239608155646396942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608328763829731453.post-37624670993283344252007-12-02T06:40:00.000-08:002007-12-02T06:40:00.000-08:00This is the current Roy Hargrove Quintet and has b...This is the current Roy Hargrove Quintet and has been for quite a while.
