On Thursday, October 8 the Roy Hargrove Big Band opens a new season of Thursday Night Jazz at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center.

Presented by the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, the monthly series brings acclaimed jazz artists to the heart of Southeast Queens, making RHBB’s invitation to open the season an especially meaningful way to kick off the season.

Coming just days before Roy’s birthday, the evening offers another chance for New York audiences to gather, celebrate, and experience his music together.

The first official RH Factor reunion concert at North Sea Jazz Festival was a beast!

The most epic celebration of Roy - Featuring the original crew: Jason JT Thomas, Keith Anderson, Bobby Sparks, Renee Neufville, Todd Parsnow, Reggie Washington, Willie Jones, Bruce Williams, Jason Marshall and his brother Brian Hargrove, along with new addition Wayne Tucker and special guest/alum Jon Batiste, they went above and beyond the call of duty and delivered the show of a lifetime!  

Roy was present in every note, rest and beat and all up and through the music (and on the screen behind us 😉)

The official After party at Bird was no different and the energy and spirit of Roy continued late into the night! We had a fantastic time. Thank you, Rotterdam 🙏❤️
