The Story
Available here is the 2-LP release of Roy Hargrove's Crisol "Grande-Terre" pressed on opaque red with black colored vinyl.
In April of 1998, fresh off their Grammy win for Best Latin Jazz Performance for their debut effort, 'Habana,' Roy Hargrove’s Crisol went into a studio in Guadalupe to record their follow-up album. Until now, that album, Grande-Terre, has never been heard. Featuring an all-star band of Roy’s long-time collaborators, including trombonist Frank Lacy, pianist Larry Willis, bassist Gerald Cannon and drummer Willie Jones III, Grande-Terre showcases Hargrove’s fiery playing, his exquisite writing and the band’s incredible power and unique sound. Roy’s untimely passing in 2018 makes us wonder what this band could have achieved if they’d had the chance to continue developing their original approach to Latin Jazz.
