Product Details

Roy Hargrove spent years earning his stripes as a straight-ahead jazz titan before Hard Groove made clear he never saw genre boundaries as anything worth respecting. Released in 2003, the album drew directly from the neo-soul and hip-hop communities Hargrove had been quietly embedded in, including his celebrated work on D'Angelo's Voodoo, making these collaborations feel like a genuine scene rather than a stunt.


Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. With this reissue, Verve By Request celebrates the 20th anniversary of this landmark, genre-busting album, conceived, led, and produced by trumpeter Roy Hargrove, who considered it a tribute to his childhood love of hip hop. Featuring a 10-piece band, special guests include D'Angelo, Q-Tip, Erykah Badu and Anthony Hamilton.
