Remembering Grammy Award Winner Roy Hargrove

Sunday, November 11

Sunday on Soulsations - a bit of jazz.  We remember Grammy award-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove, who died November 2, 2018 at the age of 49 in New York.  Mentored by Winton Marsalis, Hargrove was known for his traditional jazz as well as his work with D'Angelo, Common and Erykah Badu.  He also formed the group RH Factor that included an urban flavor of modern jazz, hip hop, R&B and gospel music.
