The trumpet virtuoso and bandleader Roy Hargrove died on Friday night of cardiac arrest in a New York hospital, where he had been admitted with kidney failure.

He had been on dialysis for several years.

Hargrove, a protege of Wynton Marsalis, was seen as a bridge between jazz traditions and contemporary hip-hop.
