Great news! There's a new Roy Hargrove documentary that will be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022. Perhaps the renewed exposure will be an excuse for this album to finally be reissued in a wide, affordable release. Let us hope.

With the recent sad passing of Roy Hargrove, surely it's time to give this the repress it deserves???
