Homelife Revisited – Roy Hargrove

A medium swinger with a classic modern post-bop sound, this song has an active rhythm section part and plenty of dynamic contrast. In addition to the original 1993 recording, there is a video of this song from 2017—a great opportunity to see how this song evolved over the years.

October 16, 1969 – November 2, 2018
