Trumpeter Roy Hargrove (1969-2018) led one of his finest bands in 2000, an all-star unit with world-class players who excelled playing his brand of advanced hard bop music.
The quintet featured altoist Sherman Irby, pianist Larry Willis, bassist Gerald Cannon, and drummer Willie Jones III.
The group was featured on the 1999 album Moment To Moment but never recorded the original featured in this film, Circus.”
The high-powered performance features fiery solos from Hargrove, Irby, Willis, and Jones.
