The last of trumpeter Roy Hargrove’s recordings to feature his longtime altoist Antonio Hart also includes pianist Marc Cary, bassist Rodney Whitaker, drummer Gregory Hutchinson and guest spots for the tenors of Branford Marsalis and David “Fathead” Newman, plus trombonist Frank Lacy and organist Jack McDuff. Hargrove (still just 22) was already on his way to being one of the better hard bop-based trumpeters in jazz, as he shows on group originals, James Williams’ “Alter Ego,” Wayne Shorter’s “Pinocchio,” “Milestones,” and “The Things We Did Last Summer.” A fine example of Hargrove’s rapidly emerging style (Scott Yanow/AllMusic).
