I completely understand your emotions. I knew Roy, saw him often, and heard his extra-human solos that blew my mind. But I still can't deal with him being gone. Rationally I am happy we have all these videos and recordings. Emotionally I'm devastated.

I remember that night in Bel Air fully well. Jam session till 6 in the morning, just like in the old days!

He never did a big band album in the 90s. His only big band album was Emergence which was released in 2009.

I am sorry that I never knew much about Roy Hargrove before recently. Although I am a new jazz pianist/singer on the scene! He did a lot with his short life, but I was extremely sad to hear about the negative influence that alcohol had on his life! You would think there would have been people there standing in the gap! Never the less, he was evidently alone on the road for years and possibly no close interventions. I imagine that a whole lot of people just watched him drink his self to death. What a dann shame! Did any of you ever speak up and try to help him? There's only so much a person can do, and perhaps there were people there for him! I do not know much about what that kind of grueling schedule could be like,yet! However, all young new comers, be aware! And proceed with caution. We must take note of the tragedys of alcohol and drugs. We must take care of ourselves, no matter what! RIP Roy! I miss you so very much, although I never knew you! I believe jazz comes from an unearthly source. I love this music, although it has evolved and morphed from so far, it gets better and better all the time. We all have a responsibility to keep it alive and take care of our body's and minds in the process. It must be preserved throughout time!

@@SashayMusic-my8jm sadly it was more than just alcohol, he battled drug addiction.

Dale was a special human being for sure. He changed my life in ways very few people know. Maybe most importantly, urging me to soak up the love and music of Cuba.

It's been about 60 years since anyone who knows anything about jazz questioned Monk's chops or general aesthetic. He's a god on the jazz Mt. Olympus.
