Roy HargroveRoy Hargroveロイ・ハーグローブ played horns on D'Angelo's Voodoo (2000), reaching listeners far outside jazz. That experience directly inspired the RH Factor, linking hard bop to hip-hop and funk in a single grammar. His conversations with Chucho Valdés in Havana were another axis. He died in 2018 at 49.

Herbie Hancock · 2002

Directions in Music (2001) was Hancock's tribute to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Placing HargroveRoy Hargroveロイ・ハーグローブ — from the trumpet lineage — alongside Brecker, who had redefined the post-bop saxophone sound, was deliberate. Intergenerational transmission was the album's real subject.

Habana

Roy Hargrove · 1997

Roy Hargrove made his name in the early-1990s hard-bop revival as one of jazz's 'Young Lions,' with no real background in Latin music. Yet in 1997 it was Habana, a session with Cuban musicians, that won him a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Performance.
