With his
Roy Hargrove Big Band, the American trumpeter interprets jazz music from the 1940s up to the present day. Hargrove's19-member line-up has been playing together since 1995. Sometimes they sound like Dizzy Gillespie's bebop big band, but references to Chuco Valdés can also be heard. Vocalist
Roberta Gambarini, who has performed with Roy Hargrove's Big Band before, is able to cover it all with her warm voice. The singer, who was born in Turin, Italy, was selected as female jazz vocalist of the year by the renowned American jazz magazine DownBeat last year.
