It's a family reunion when jazz, R&B and hip-hop get together, and brought it all to his Tiny Desk, where he talked about 鈥渢he good, the band and the ugly of what life can be.鈥�
鈥淕otta Go (Outer Space)鈥� set the table for the affair, introducing Harrold and the killin鈥� musicians in the rhythm section and giving them a chance to settle in before special guests arrived. 鈥淔ind Your Peace鈥� is about letting go. Seasoned with a verse from Nick Grant, a sprinkle of Rhodes by jazz rockstar , and a dash of featured vocalist Tiana Major9, it was a tasty first course.
The title track of Harrold鈥檚 latest album, 鈥淔oreverland,鈥� is love and longing brought to the table by STOUT. Together, with Harrold taking turns as a vocalist, they told a story about the possibilities of a dreamy romance with the support of Michelle Hunt and Mary Floyd singing background vocals. The next dish is an entree consumed, perhaps, with a bit of reluctance. 鈥淒on鈥檛 Lie,鈥� features pleading for answers, to which Harrold responds with a reassuring trumpet solo.
It鈥檚 apparent from everyone鈥檚 smiles, whether performing songs about joy or yearning, that they鈥檙e family creating a memory. Harrold spoke about a lesson he learned recently: Friendship is an essential ingredient that nourishes the soul. For the final course, he and longtime friend proclaim that, with the right perspective, every day is a 鈥淏eautiful Day.鈥�
