In April 1998, following their Grammy win for Best Latin Jazz Performance with ‘Habana’, Roy Hargrove’s Crisol entered a studio in Guadalupe to record what would become the long-awaited album, Grande-Terre. Until now, this masterpiece has remained unheard, showcasing the incredible chemistry of Hargrove’s all-star band, featuring talented musicians like trombonist Frank Lacy, pianist Larry Willis, and drummer Willie Jones III.
Grande-Terre is a testament to Hargrove’s fiery trumpet playing and exceptional songwriting, delivering a unique sound that embodies the spirit of Latin Jazz. The untimely loss of Roy Hargrove in 2018 leaves us pondering the heights this band could have reached if given more time to evolve their original style.
