Hard Groove (Verve By Request)

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. This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
