About This Event
The Roy Hargrove Big Band's monthly residency at The Jazz Gallery presents the ensemble that continues the repertory and bandstand ethos associated with trumpeter-composer Roy Hargrove. The group's arrangements favor direct melodic statements and a tight ensemble engine, drawing on big band, hard bop, ballad work and Latin-jazz currents while leaving space for hip‑hop and R&B inflection, with performances geared toward clarity and groove rather than display.
