30 years ago today, Roy’s album “The Vibe” was released by RCA/Novus!  Featuring performances by Antonio Hart, Marc Cary, David “Fathead” Newman, Rodney Whitaker, Greg Hutchinson, Frank Lacy, Jack McDuff and Branford Marsalis, the record rose to #4 on the Billboard Jazz Chart and quickly became a fan favorite. Listen again and celebrate with us!

This Thursday the Roy Hargrove Big Band begins its monthly residency at the venue where it all began, The Jazz Gallery - Where The Future Is Present⁠
