The HarGroove Effect: The Legacy of Roy Hargrove

Building on the legacy of Roy Hargrove and his genre-blurring group, The RH Factor, Ambuscade brings an exhilarating fusion of jazz, funk, and soul we call “HarGroove.” We’re reviving the roots of swinging, danceable grooves with a modern edge. Embracing the bold, explorative spirit of Black American classical music—jazz—while adding rich improvisational depth, Ambuscade continues Hargrove’s tradition. This set will honor his groundbreaking creativity, welcoming new audiences while staying true to our ancestral roots.
