Roy Hargrove - Nothing Serious

I just picked up the 2006 release Nothing Serious by Roy Hargrove. It's a very articulate and professional post-bop recording which, although not entirely innovative, is still a solid album and recommended listening. I feel it's important to listen to both experimental "outside" jazz as well as recordings which are more typical of the idiom.

In any case, if you want to hear a solid modern jazz recording, check out Roy Hargrove - Nothing Serious.
