Roy Hargrove Big Band

The Roy Hargrove Big Band carries forward the legacy of the late, great Roy Hargrove – an iconic trumpeter whose genre-defying artistry earned him two Grammy Awards and global acclaim. Known for fusing hard bop with hip-hop, soul, and funk, Hargrove expanded the language of jazz for a new generation.

Originally formed for the Village Jazz Festival, his big band became a vital part of his expression, delivering performances full of swing, warmth, and masterful arrangements. Today, the Roy Hargrove Big Band continues to celebrate his indelible impact on modern music.
