Released in 2003, 'Hard Groove' features jazz with a groove leaning towards Nu Soul and hip-hop, inviting Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Q-Tip, Anthony Hamilton, as well as the charismatic bassist Meshell Ndegeocello. Discover this gem of the genre, remastered from the original tapes, in an audiophile double vinyl edition.
A virtuoso trumpeter, Roy Hargrove began his career alongside one of jazz's legends, Wynton Marsalis. By signing his first contract with Verve, the musician opened the doors to very prestigious collaborations in the 1990s. He notably supported Joe Henderson, Stanley Turrentine, Joshua Redman, and Branford Marsalis.
Launched by all these luminaries of the genre, he continued his appearances and worked with other great musicians such as Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, Jimmy Smith, as well as some of the rising stars of hip-hop and Nu Soul. An heir to enlightened jazz, Roy Hargrove is resolutely rooted in his era.
