Experience the profound musical legacy and timeless elegance of trumpeter Roy Hargrove in this deeply moving 2017 concert filmed in Clermont-Ferrand. Performing in his favorite and most celebrated format, the classic jazz quintet, Hargrove delivers a masterclass in talent, class, and pure performance. Backed by a stellar lineup featuring Justin Robinson on saxophone, Tadataka Unno on piano, Ameen Saleem on double bass, and Quincy Phillips on drums, the ensemble rolls out a rich repertoire that balances original compositions with iconic jazz standards. The group delivers brilliant renditions of Donald Brown's Cape Town Ambush, Miles Davis's The Theme, and Joe Henderson's Shade of Jade. Highlighting his remarkable emotional depth, Hargrove performs a breathtaking trumpet-and-piano duet of Wild Is the Wind, before bringing the house down with a spirited, high-energy jazz reimagining of Michael Jackson’s classic Rock with You.
