Roy Hargrove Sextet - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz 1998

FRIDAY 10 JULY 1998 • JAN STEEN ZAAL • The Hague, The Netherlands Roy Anthony Hargrove (October 16, 1969 – November 2, 2018) was an American jazz and funk trumpeter. Hargrove was discovered by Wynton Marsalis, when he attended the same high school as Hargrove in Dallas. A strong influence on Hargrove had been exerted on him by saxophonist David 'Fathead' Newman, who performed at his high school together with Ray Charles. Hargrove studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston from 1988 to 1989, but during this period he often performed in New York and then attended The New School. There he also made his first recordings together with saxophonist Bobby Watson. Recordings with Superblue, Mulgrew Miller and Kenny Washington followed. In 1990 his first solo album Diamond in the Rough was released. Verve Records enabled Hargrove to record with many jazz greats, including Joe Henderson, Stanley Turrentine, Johnny Griffin, Joshua Redman, and Branford Marsalis. Commissioned by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, he composed The Love Suite: In Mahogany in 1993. Hargrove had worked with a wide variety of musicians. Initially, he often played with Shirley Horn. He also recorded with Kitty Margolis. He also often worked with Erykah Badu (with whom he also went to school), Common, D'Angelo and Meshell Ndegeocello. In 1998, he received the Grammy Award for his album Habana with his Afro-Cuban band Crisol. In 2002, he won the Grammy Award for the second time, this time alongside Herbie Hancock and Michael Brecker for the album Directions in Music. Hargrove was sentenced in 2014 by a court in Manhattan to two days of group work for buying cocaine. Hargrove was the founder and leader of the formation The RH Factor, where he combined elements of jazz, funk, hip-hop, soul, and gospel music. In 2009 he released a big band production with the singer Roberta Gambarini with Emergence. After Hargrove was admitted to a New York hospital in connection with a long-term kidney disease, according to his manager Larry Clothier, he died on November 2, 2018 at the age of 49 from the effects of cardiac arrest.
