	Roy Hargrove, "Moment to Moment" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		ROY HARGROVE, "Moment to Moment" (Verve) -- Roy Hargrove's last Verve release was a rowdy, upbeat exploration of Afro-Cuban music.

		Hargrove channels his high-spirited energy and unique ability to improvise into a tone that is nearly vocal.

	E.J.N. - ROY HARGROVE
		Roy is the latest in the line of trumpeters seduced by Afro-Cuban music and rhythms leading back through kenny Dorham and others to the man, Dizzy Gillepsie.
		Hargrove, steeped in the trumpet tradition was, of course, well-acquainted with the Cuba-jazz relationship that long preceded him: Dizzy’s historic collaborations with Chano Pozo; trumpeter Mario Bauza and band leader Machito; Afro-Cuban jazz development in general.
		Hargrove’s commitment to this music includes a summer jazz festival tour with the same unit (plus or minus a few musicians) under the name “Roy Hargrove’s Crisol“.

	Roy Hargrove & RH Factor: Hard Groove
		Roy Hargrove’s RH Factor album is a real breath of fresh air that seems to greatly expand the possibilities for jazz musicians and RandB/hip-hop performers to cross-pollinate their respective music with new ideas and sounds.
		Hargrove sidesteps one pitfall of combining jazz with more current fl popular music forms, and that is the mistake (made since Miles Davis’s doo-bop album and repeated by many others) of simply including too much rap, or of collaborating with artists who are not particularly sympathetic to the spontaneous nature of jazz improvisation.
		Hargrove is going to get (or has already gotten) a lot of flak from jazzbos about this release, but the fact is there is nothing here to suggest that Hargrove considers this a jazz release.
