Roy Hargrove—the jazz trumpeter to contributed to albums by artists including D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Common, and so many more—has died, as jazz journalist and Pitchfork contributor Nate Chinen reports. NPR reports that the cause of death was cardiac arrest. He was 49 years old.

A prodigious talent whose star rose in the early 1990s, Hargrove was discovered by Wynton Marsalis when he was still in high school. Marsalis gave Hargrove his start, allowing him to sit in with his band and introducing him to established musicians. After a single year at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Hargrove began his career in earnest, releasing solo albums and performing alongside notable jazz figures such as Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Jackie McLean, Oscar Peterson, and more.

In 2000, he provided brass arrangements and performed on Erykah Badu’s sophomore album Mama’s Gun. That same year, he contributed to D’Angelo’s iconic record Voodoo and Common’s major label debut Like Water for Chocolate. In 2014, he would reunite with D’Angelo to perform on Black Messiah. A two-time Grammy winner, Hargrove continued to record and perform music live until his death.
