Winard Harper Celebrates His New Piadrum Records CD

Tuesday-Wednesday, August 29-30 Winard Harper Sextet (Winard Harper - drums, balafon, Ameen Saleem - bass, Josh Evans - trumpet, Sean Higgins - piano* NIU Grad, Stacy Dillard - tenor saxophone, Alioune Faye - djembe, percussion;) with special guests will perform at the Jazz Standard, NYC to celebrate his new Piadrum Records CD.

An outstanding drummer, bandleader, and percussionist, Winard Harper is known throughout the world for his resolute style, tremendous touch and deep knowledge of jazz history. Born to a musical family in Baltimore, Maryland, Winard grew up surrounded by not only jazz, but the popular music of the day. When in his latter teenage years, he and brother Philip established the Harper Brothers Quintet, acclaim followed the band as they performed to adoring crowds across the globe. In the years that followed Winard dug in his heels and recorded a string of gritty albums that showed his ever expanding musical palette and perpetually hard driving style. With seven albums to his credit, Make It Happen marks a new plateau in this restless musician's career. Pairing an exceptional band with forward-thinking compositions, Winard Harper addresses the evolution of jazz on Make It Happen.
