Roy Hargrove is one of the today’s greatest trumpet players.. He finds his way in every style, from neo hard bop to funk, R&B and Latin. With his generous tone and his urge for innovation he proves himself a true successor to such colleagues as Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. ‘A highly gifted trumpeter whose facility and bright, sweet tone bring a sense of dancing fun to his music’ (Penguin Guide to Jazz).
