New Kingdom is the debut album by American jazz trumpeter Roy Campbell recorded in 1991 and released on the Delmark label. According to Roy, the title refers to "a whole generation of musicians who've been overlooked, musicians who use avant-garde techniques to develop stuff that refers to the tradition".[1] "I Remember Lee" is dedicated to Roy's teacher Lee Morgan, while "For C.T.", composed by bassist William Parker, is a tribute to valve trombonist Clifford Thornton.[1]
