Savannah Harris was born in 1993 and grew up in Oakland, California, where she also received her first drum lessons from her father Fred Harris as well as her stepfather Khalil Shaheed.
Harris has too many interests to be confined to her role as an improvising musician. She studied journalism at Howard University in Washington starting in 2015, in addition to drums. Four years later, she moved to New York, where she not only completed her percussion studies at the Manhattan School Of Music, but also immediately made a name for herself as an aesthetically and stylistically complex drummer, playing with Jason Moran, Kenny Barron, Geri Allen and Terrence Blanchard, among others....

Savannah Harris was born in 1993 and grew up in Oakland, California, where she also received her first drum lessons from her father Fred Harris as well as her stepfather Khalil Shaheed.
Harris has too many interests to be confined to her role as an improvising musician. She studied journalism at Howard University in Washington starting in 2015, in addition to drums. Four years later, she moved to New York, where she not only completed her percussion studies at the Manhattan School Of Music, but also immediately made a name for herself as an aesthetically and stylistically complex drummer, playing with Jason Moran, Kenny Barron, Geri Allen and Terrence Blanchard, among others.

But again, the terrain of jazz is too narrow for the young artist to accommodate and live out all her creative preferences. Harris can also be heard with R&B, hip-hop and soul acts such as Georgia Anne Muldrow, Standing On The Corner and José James, and she also plays drums in trumpeter Peter Evans‘ avant-garde jazz quartet Being & Becoming. As a composer, she writes the music for filmmakers such as Alex Huggins and Elle Clay, while Harris also performs interdisciplinarily on stage with dancers and actors. She reflects all her influences with her modern jazz, which oscillates between free improvisation and tonal fixation, between shimmering pulse and concrete beat, and which she brings to the stage as Focus Artist of Cologne Jazzweek with her trio featuring Or Bareket (bass) and Jeremy Corren (piano).
