A
press
release
describes
the
project
from
the
artist
who
passed
away
in
2018
as
a
never-before-heard,
one-time
live
performance
of
original
Hargrove
music
“meant
to
captivate
audiences
who
have
been
longtime
fans
of
Roy
Hargrove
or
are
now
learning
of
his
legacy
through
the
release.”
Commissioned
by
Jazz
at
Lincoln
Center
to
compose
and
perform
The
Love
Suite:
In
Mahogany,
a
then-23-year-old
Hargrove
demonstrated
a
remarkably
mature
approach
to
his
craft.
For
the
first
time,
this
historic
concert—captured
at
Alice
Tully
Hall
in
1993
during
one
of
Jazz
at
Lincoln
Center’s
earliest
seasons—is
available
via
digital
streaming
platforms.
The
Love
Suite:
In
Mahogany,
produced
by
Willie
Jones
III,
alumnus
of
Hargrove’s
sextet
and
RH
Factor,
showcases
the
trumpet
virtuosity
and
soulful
songwriting
for
which
Hargrove
continues
to
be
celebrated.
Prior
to
his
passing,
Hargrove
collaborated
with
the
likes
of
Erykah
Badu,
D’Angelo,
Common,
Questlove,
Mos
Def
and
laid
the
groundwork
for
later
generations
who
wanted
to
duplicate
his
signature
sound.
This
is
late-trumpeter’s
second
posthumous
album
release,
his
first
came
out
in
2021.
