One of Verve's most important young artists, Roy Hargrove's 1995 release, Family, was a great success, reaching #1 at Gavin radio. On Habana - a leap forward in the development of Roy's artistic stature - the trumpeter explores and updates the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition pioneered by jazz giants Dizzy Gillespie and Kenny Dorham. The band (featuring David Sanchez, Chucho Valdes, Russell Malone, Idris Muhammad and others) is a phenomenal mix of American, Puerto Rican and Cuban talent. Expect Top 5 airplay at jazz radio.
