Dear WNCU Supporter,
Roy Hargrove was born on October 16, 1969 in Waco, Texas. He soon became familiar with the recordings of Maynard Ferguson, Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard, and in the spring of 1987, Hargrove met the man who would electrify his dreams of a professional career who is trumpet superstar Wynton Marsalis.
Clifford Jordan, Jerome Richardson and Tete Montoliu. In the fall he entered college at the Berklee School of Music on various scholarships, including one from Down Beat magazine, which had selected him as best jazz soloist of the year. In 1990, Hargrove moved to New York, where he enrolled in the New School’s Jazz and Contemporary Music program.
In 1993, before he was 25, Hargrove was already a major star in the world of contemporary jazz, and was signed by Verve – Polygram, a label strongly committed to the promotion of young talent. For Verve, he recorded The Tenors of Our Iime, an ambitious project featuring Johnny Griffin, Stanley Turrentine, Joe Henderson and Joshua Redman.
What would happen if a surgeon walked into an operating room without a scalpel? Not much. What would happen if a teacher ran out of chalk? A lot. Today, the classroom is different and Dr. Patricia Russell-McCloud is ready to move students, professors, administrators, and the community to new levels of collaboration.
