Acclaimed trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Roy Hargrove realizes a lifelong dream with the August 25th release of Emergence (Groovin’ High/Emarcy), his first big band album.
Nineteen pieces strong, Hargrove’s ensemble is a vibrant and versatile group, tackling a wide range of material and styles with equal doses of precision and passion. “Financially speaking, this is probably the worst thing I could ever do,” says Hargrove, “but it is something that needs to be done, spiritually and musically speaking.”
