Trumpeter Roy Hargrove (1969-2018) was invited to perform at the 1996 Havana Jazz Festival. Those 11 days in Cuba had a lasting influence on his music and earned him a Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album. Hargrove told Peter Watrous in a New York Times interview published Feb. 21, 1996: "I knew there were going to be good musicians here, but I had no idea they were going to be as good as they are. The average American jazz musician can easily get lost in it all. The rhythms here are so deep it's already left an impression on me; it has definitely changed the way I play."

When he got home, Hargrove formed his band Crisol (melting pot) with four American musicians, two Cubans and two Puerto Ricans. Their 10 performances at Italy's Umbria Jazz Festival were recorded for the Grammy-winning album "Habana.” (Written by Robin Lloyd for Jazz Caliente)
