Double Bill: Roy Hargrove Quintet and Roberta Gambarini Quartet

Grammy®-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove has firmly established himself as among the premier players in jazz and beyond. With nearly 20 recordings as leader (and nearly a dozen as an indispensable sideman), the acolyte of legendary David “Fathead” Newman has played with luminaries like Wynton Marsalis and Herbie Hancock, introduced his groundbreaking hip hop/jazz collective, The RH Factor, on the Verve label, and has left indelible imprints on a vast array of projects as he continually flexes his musical chops to thrilled audiences the world over.

Wildly celebrated by fans, critics and many of the world’s greatest musicians, Roberta Gambarini became a fast-rising star—and a Grammy® Nominee—with the 2006 release of her debut album, Easy to Love (Groovin’ High/Kindred Rhythm). A dynamic performer with virtuosic vocal chops, Gambarini displays her instrumental approach, warm timbre, impeccable timing and intonation, incredible technique and scatting and improvisation skills on her most recent release, the Grammy®-nominated So In Love (Groovin’ High) and continuously graces the most prestigious venues and festivals to universal acclaim.
