Roy Hargrove

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Grammy-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove is not exactly a jazz purist. He has played with people like pop star Diana Ross, neo-soul singer Erykah Badu and rapper Q-Tip. Still, he doesn't like messing with his jazz too much. On his new album, "Earfood," made with his Quintet, Hargrove stayed close to the standard sound to create what he calls sonic pleasure. Hargrove joins us to talk about it. This is an encore edition of Soundcheck.
