3. Roy Hargrove/Mulgrew Miller
In Harmony (Resonance)

Leave it to the dearly departed to define true presence. Over the course of 13 numbers captured at two duo concerts well over a decade ago, trumpeter Roy Hargrove and pianist Mulgrew Miller set a standard for what joyful discovery and interplay is all about. Pure virtuosity and artistic acumen act as countervailing forces in their interpretations of time-tested gems, offering something fresh within the familiar. DAN BILAWSKY
