Roy Anthony Hargrove (October 16, 1969 – November 2, 2018) was an American jazz musician and composer whose principal instruments were the trumpet and flugelhorn.
He achieved worldwide acclaim after winning two Grammy Awards for differing styles of jazz in 1998 and 2002.Hargrove primarily played in the hard bop style for the majority of his albums, but also had a penchant for genre-crossing exploration and collaboration with a variety of hip hop, soul, R&B and alternative rock artists.
As Hargrove told one reporter, "I've been around all kinds of musicians, and if a cat can play, a cat can play.
If it's gospel, funk, R&B, jazz or hip-hop, if it's something that gets in your ear and it's good, that’s what matters."
