Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good cd, but very reserved.......2003-03-29

I'm going to keep this very short. Roy Hargrove is a marvelous trumpet player. He is one the very few vying for Lee Morgan's unoccupied spot as "the" trumpet player of his time. As good of a set as this is, and as "on" as Hargrove is, it is too relaxed for me to get overly excited. There are a few tunes that Hargrove really cuts loose on (e.g. the opener "Soppin' The Biscuit"), but he is largely reserved resulting in a cd I consider to be too laid back. I think I've been spoiled by Nicholas Payton.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Set.......2002-02-20

5 out of 5 stars Hargrove keeps getting better.......2001-10-02

Though this album features jazz saxophonists Branford Marsalis, Stanley Turrentine, Joshua Redman, Joe Henderson, Ron Blake and Johnny Griffin, it's the craft of Hargrove's horn playing that truly makes this album work so well. The addition of these quality saxophonists only heightens the experience one has come to expect from a Roy Hargrove album. Moving from one piece to the other is silky, and the CD offers that "in-the-club" feel that doesn't always get translated in album performances. After having played the album numerous times, I still get a thrill from listening to it. "Shade of Jade" and "Soppin' the Biscuit" with their distinctive jazz combo feel contrast very well with "Across the Pond," and "When We Were One," which will make you want to slow dance with a partner. And the album is upbeat, though humble in its own way; the musicians are never brash or overbearing, but sonorous and musically aware of each other. "Once Forgotten" has become one of my favorites on this album for just that reason -- it blends the tone qualities of the instruments so well, that one rarely if ever gets the impression one musician is trying to outdo another or take the spotlight. In that respect this album is more than gracious, a pleasure for the ears and soul, attracting me to it each time I look at my CD rack.

3 out of 5 stars This "Young Lion's" best work........2001-08-17

While it is difficult for post modern Jazz musicians to truly match up to the greats of years past, Roy Hargrove dislays some impressive playing for a youngster. Having incredible chops and sensitivity for playing ballads, he is by far the more versatile player among his peers. However, as Wynton Marsalis gets most of the press for trumpeters, Roy is undeniably a gifted musician, while Wynton suffers from cliched blowing and criticism of ripping off Duke Ellington. Roy's strength has always been playing standards. As a composer, his compositions pales in comparison to his fiery soloing. Since Tenors Of Our Time consists of mostly standards, his playing truly shines. Especially since some of the best tenor saxophone players appear on this album, it is a chance for the uninitiated to hear some good music, and to in fact be introduced some of the best musicians most young Americans may never heard of.

5 out of 5 stars Fine Biscuit for beginners or Specialists!.......2000-07-02

Mr.Hargrove and Verve should pay me some royalties for sales of some 10 CDs with the Tenors. I got one track recorded as a recipient sound in my telephone answer machine and people simply get crazy. Then it became the birthday gift of the moment. What a disc! All stars!
