Roy Hargrove, Grammy-Winning Jazz Trumpeter, Dies At 49
November 3, 201811:36 AM ET
Roy Hargrove, an incisive trumpeter who embodied the brightest promise of his jazz generation, both as a young steward of the bebop tradition and a savvy bridge to hip-hop and R&B, died on Saturday morning in New York City. He was 49.
The cause was cardiac arrest, according to his longtime manager, Larry Clothier. Hargrove had been admitted to the hospital for reasons related to kidney function; he was on dialysis for many years.
Hargrove was a two-time Grammy winner, in two illustrative categories: Best Jazz Instrumental Album in 2003 for Directions in Music, featuring a post-bop supergroup with pianist Herbie Hancock and saxophonist Michael Brecker; and Best Latin Jazz Performance in 1998 for Habana, a groundbreaking Afro-Cuban project recorded in Havana.
Hargrove had been scheduled to perform on Saturday in a jazz vespers service at Bethany Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., as part of the TD James Moody Jazz Festival.
A full obituary is forthcoming.

I was just about to get some tickets for his show at the Jazz Gallery next month. I saw him there right after Hurricane Katrina and he was awesome. Plus a Central Park show he did maybe 10 years ago that was great.

I'm an advocate for working smarter, not harder. If you just
focus on working hard you end up making someone else rich and
not having much to show for it. (c) mad

13295747, Shocking and tragic.

It's hard enough when another old master passes away. But when I was learning to love music, Roy was the epitome of a young lion.
He was a hell of a player. I'm gonna miss seeing him.

I love the horns in that song. I mostly know him from his work with Badu, D'Angelo, and Common. What else should I check out? RIP.
