In April of 1998, fresh off their Grammy win for Best Latin Jazz Performance for their debut effort, Habana, Roy Hargroves Crisol went into a studio in Guadalupe to record their follow-up album. Until now, that album,Grande-Terre, has never been heard. Featuring an all-star band of Roys long-time collaborators, including trombonist Frank Lacy, pianist Larry Willis, bassist Gerald Cannon and drummer Willie Jones III,Grande-Terreshowcases Hargroves fiery playing, his exquisite writing and the bands incredible power and unique sound. Roys untimely passing in 2018 makes us wonder what this band could have achieved if theyd had the chance to continue developing their original approach to Latin Jazz.
