CABARET TONIGHT IN D.C.: ROY HARGROVE QUINTET AT BLUES ALLEY

CABARET TONIGHT IN D.C.: ROY HARGROVE QUINTET AT BLUES ALLEY

Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove and his Quintet will appear atBLUES ALLEY (1073 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC - 202-337-4141) on Thursday through Sunday, November 7th through 10th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Hargrove has firmly established himself as among the premier players in jazz and beyond. Hargrove, the Dallas born trumpeter, has never been short of hipness. Mentored as a teenager by Wynton Marsalis, he has a flaring tone and a lyrical warmth; his fusing of traditional and contemporary music turns his gigs into exuberant jazz history lessons. With a band including the excellent New Orleans-born pianist Sullivan Fortner, and formidable young drummer Quincy Phillips. Hargrove's snappy phrase turns and vibrato-laden long notes, pared with alto saxist Justin Robinson's fluent improvisations, embellish his usual selection of swingers and Latin shuffles. Call for cover/minimum information.
