Gary Crosby's Nu Troop is a post-bop jazz group formed in 1991 by musician Gary Crosby in London. Referred to by The Rough Guide to Jazz as "one of the most important UK bands", the group won the Best Ensemble award at the Jazz à Vienne festival in 1997, and their album of that year, Migrations, was described as "superb".
