Building upon the influence of players like \u003c\/span\u003eClifford Brown\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eFreddie Hubbard\u003cspan\u003e, and his mentor \u003c\/span\u003eWynton Marsalis\u003cspan\u003e, Hargrove turned heads in the late 1980s and early '90s with his hard-swinging take on acoustic bop, as showcased on albums like 1990's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublic Eye\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eand 1995's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eFamily\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. He earned accolades, taking home a Grammy Award for his ambitious Afro-Cuban album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHabana\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and playing alongside veteran legends like \u003c\/span\u003eSonny Rollins\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eShirley Horn\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eJimmy Smith\u003cspan\u003e, and others. While never eschewing his jazz roots, he branched out, forming his funk and hip-hop outfit \u003c\/span\u003ethe RH Factor\u003cspan\u003e, and collaborating on a wide-ranging mix of projects with artists like \u003c\/span\u003eD'Angelo\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eCommon\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eJohn Mayer\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eErykah Badu\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003ethe 1975\u003cspan\u003e. Prior to his too-early death in 2018 at age 49, Hargrove released a series of highly regarded acoustic albums, including the 2008 quintet date \u003c\/span\u003eEarfood\u003cspan\u003e and the 2009 big-band album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmergence\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e In 2021, he posthumously reached the Top Five of the jazz albums chart with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Harmony\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a duo album with pianist \u003c\/span\u003eMulgrew Miller\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn early 1998, fresh off their GRAMMY win for Best Latin Jazz Performance for their debut album Habana, Roy Hargrove and his incandescent group of musicians headed back into the studio to capture lightning in a bottle. Until now that recording, \u003cem\u003eGrande-Terre\u003c\/em\u003e, has never been heard. Showcasing Hargrove’s red-hot playing, his superlative writing and the band’s powerful singular sound, Roy Hargrove’s Crisol: \u003cem\u003eGrand-Terre\u003c\/em\u003e was released worldwide on October 18th, two days after what would have been Roy’s 55th birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoy Hargrove was widely praised for his compositions and abilities on the trumpet and flugelhorn and The New York Times called him “…the most impactful trumpeter of his generation.” \u003cem\u003eGrand-Terre\u003c\/em\u003e succinctly exhibits this talent alongside his “Crisol” or melting pot of long-time collaborators. This all-star group of Cuban, American and Guadeloupian musicians was the foundation to Hargrove’s unparalleled approach to jazz and the mélange of musical genres that appear on the record. This unique blending of jazz, afro-Cuban rhythms, soul, bop, and funk influenced a generation of jazz, hip hop and neo-soul musicians. From Kamasi Washington and Robert Glasper to D’Angelo, Erykah Badu and Questlove, all these artists—who are now household names—have been shaped by Roy Hargrove’s music and what he cooked up in the studio. — via Label\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/77VpcoLff1MKzDPZQ4rSyu?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Verve Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Stereo\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2024\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Contemporary Jazz, Post Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Jazz - Trumpet\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45241078677662,"sku":"60268053323","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/meta_eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ.jpg?v=1741943910","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/roy-hargroves-crisol-grande-terre","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
