The ensemble brought together U.S. jazz stars and Cuban masters to create a warm, rhythmic sound that blends straight-ahead jazz phrasing with Afro-Cuban percussion and song forms. Hargrove's work with Crisol emphasized melodic improvisation over rich, danceable grooves and highlighted his lyrical tone and commitment to cross-cultural collaboration. The group became known for featuring top Cuban musicians and for introducing Latin jazz elements to mainstream jazz audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHabana, recorded and released in 1997 on Verve\/PolyGram, captures Crisol at the height of its fusion approach, pairing original compositions and spirited arrangements with classic Latin forms. The album features extended tracks and lively ensemble writing that showcase percussion textures, piano montunos, and strong solo statements from the frontline. Standout pieces range from energetic mambo and Afro-Cuban numbers to tender ballads, all arranged to spotlight both the bandleader and his Cuban collaborators. The recording is notable for its roster of prominent players and its polished production that preserves the immediacy of the performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel:\u003cbr\u003eRoy Hargrove (trumpet)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Sánchez (tenor sax)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChucho Valdés (piano)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Benitez (contrabass)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoracio \"Negro\" Hernández (drums)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiguel \"Anga\" Díaz (congas)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJose Luis \"Changuito\" Quintana (timbales)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Lacy (trombone)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGary Bartz (alto sax)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJorge Reyes (electric bass)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRussell Malone (guitar)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Verve \/ PolyGram Records\u003cbr\u003eCat No: SACDVER25\u003cbr\u003e© \u0026amp; ℗ 1997 PolyGram Records, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1\u003cbr\u003eOh-Mi Seh Yeh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9:59\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2\u003cbr\u003eUna Mas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8:06\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3\u003cbr\u003eDream Traveler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5:23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4\u003cbr\u003eNusia's Poem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6:20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5\u003cbr\u003eMr. Bruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5:30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6\u003cbr\u003eBallad for the Children\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4:52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7\u003cbr\u003eThe Mountaings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8:07\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8\u003cbr\u003eAfrodisia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4:46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9\u003cbr\u003eMambo for Roy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11:01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10\u003cbr\u003eOh-Mi Seh (Reprise)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6:22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Verve\/PolyGram Records","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":67632326181142,"sku":"137401","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20261001161813588a11d2d33a16.jpg?v=1790896805","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/roy-hargroves-crisol-habana-10-track-promo-w-no-artwork","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
