For the first time ever, Roy’s legendary 2000 performance at the Bern Jazz Festival arrives as an official release, restored from the original tapes and remastered for audiophile fidelity. Capturing Roy at the height of his powers with a stellar quintet - Larry Willis, Sherman Irby, Gerald Cannon, and Willie Jones - the set moves effortlessly from hard-swinging post-bop to Latin-inflected grooves and breathtaking ballads, bridging bebop tradition with 21st-century soul. The album will be released on vinyl on Record Store Day (April 18).
