"Hargrove can play the living god out of the trumpet!"— All About Jazz

Grammy-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove has firmly established himself as among the premier players in jazz and beyond. With nearly 20 recordings as leader (and nearly a dozen as an indispensable sideman), the acolyte of legendary David "Fathead" Newman has played with luminaries like Wynton Marsalis and Herbie Hancock, introduced his groundbreaking hipâA?A?hop/jazz collective, The RH Factor, on the Verve label, and has left indelible imprints on a vast array of projects as he continually flexes his musical chops to thrilled audiences the world over.

Roberta Gambarini Quintet:

"Gambarini is a true successor to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Carmen McRae."— BOSTON GLOBE

Wildly celebrated by fans, critics and many of the world's greatest musicians, Roberta Gambarini became a fast-rising star—and a Grammy Nominee—with the 2006 release of her debut album, Easy to Love (Groovin' High/Kindred Rhythm). A dynamic performer with virtuosic vocal chops, Gambarini displays her instrumental approach, warm timbre, impeccable timing and intonation, incredible technique and scatting and improvisation skills on her most recent release, the Grammy-nominated So In Love (Groovin' High) and continuously graces the most prestigious venues and festivals to universal acclaim.
