Roy Hargrove - Grande-Terre [VINYL]

In April 1998, shortly after winning a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Performance with their debut album Habana, Roy Hargrove’s Crisol entered a studio in Guadalupe to record their long-awaited follow-up. That album, Grande-Terre, remained unreleased until now, offering a powerful testament to Hargrove’s visionary fusion of jazz and Latin rhythms. Featuring an all-star ensemble of longtime collaborators—including trombonist Frank Lacy, pianist Larry Willis, and drummer Willie Jones III—the album highlights Hargrove’s fiery trumpet work, masterful compositions, and the group’s dynamic chemistry. Released posthumously after Hargrove’s passing in 2018, Grande-Terre captures a pivotal moment in jazz history and stands as a lasting tribute to his innovative spirit.
