Winard Harper has performed with and been friends with the Jazz Greats of our time since his early twenties and was part of Yew York's Young Lions in the late 80's, when he launched the acclaimed Harper Brothers. A band-leader ever since, he has a number of albums to his name. A drummer "of huge presence and ample virtuosity, he is as pleasing and entertaining to watch as he is to hear "and now finds himself mentor to a new generation of young artists. “This music is powerful," he says. “It can do a lot of good for people. If they'd spend some time each day listening to it, we would see many changes in the world." Bringing Jazz Greats to the community from which Jazz originally emerged, playing and interacting with those who shape Jazz today, will surely bring some of these much needed changes.
