Roy A. Hargrove (born October 16 1969) is an American jazz trumpeter. Hargrove was born in Waco, Texas, and was discovered as a potential jazz talent when Wynton Marsalis visited his high school, Dallas's Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. One of his biggest influences was saxophone player David "Fathead" Newman, who played with the Ray Charles Band at Hargrove's junior high school. Wikipedia
