Query: His playing is at its most unemotional and mechanical here

I'm sorry but this is at best decent aural wallpaper. Hargrove has done so much better work and much more inspired blowing on albums like "Family" and "Tenor of Our Time." He offers nothing unique to these ballads at all. There is no interpretation or romance. These are mostly very dry, mechanical renditions of standards. "Family," "Tenor of . . ," and "Parker's Mood" are far more interesting and pleasurable to listen to.
