Come into the Light

Come into the Light (2004) more music like this

by Winard Harper

It is easy to think of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers when one hears drummer Winard Harper's quintet. Like Blakey, Harper mostly performs songs from within the band along with occasional standards. The music is very much in the hard bop genre with fiery ensembles and concise solos, all driven by Harper's drums. One senses that the sidemen are ...

Artistry

Artistry (1991) more music like this

by The Harper Brothers

During 1988-1992, the Harper Brothers were one of the leading Young Lions groups in jazz, younger musicians playing within the style of hard bop as typified by the 1960s recordings on Blue Note. The third of the Harper Brothers' four recordings is very much in the tradition, and much of the time sounds very much like 1965 or the early-'60s Jazz ...

A Time for the Soul

A Time for the Soul (2003) more music like this

by Winard Harper

Listening to this release from drummer Winard Harper's group, it is very easy and logical to think of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. The music is mostly straight-ahead hard bop, and even overlooking Bobby Timmons' "Dat Dere" (which is straight from Blakey's repertoire), most of the cuts are very much in the same style. Trumpeter Patrick ...

You Can Hide Inside the Music

You Can Hide Inside the Music (1991) more music like this

by The Harper Brothers

This set by the Harper Brothers is a bit unusual in that the hard bop unit finds itself often in the position of being a backup group to singer Ernie Andrews, who takes five spirited vocals. Although the Harper Brothers gained quite a bit of publicity during their existence, their lack of originality held them back artistically. Altoist Justin ...

by Winard Harper

Some of the hottest young stars of the jazz scene came together to play on Winard Harper's 2000 CD release, Faith With Carrie Smith.

Trap Dancer

Trap Dancer (1998) more music like this

by Winard Harper

Drummer Winard Harper leads a fine hard bop quintet on Trap Dancer, which consists of five standards and a variety of obscure originals, including one song apiece from Gary Bartz and Jimmy Heath. Trumpeter Patrick Rickman, tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen, and pianist George Cables take consistently worthwhile solos, and although there are a couple ...

Winard (1999) more music like this

Exploring his African roots and jazz branches, drummer Harper kicks it good on this wide ranging program. There's plenty to satisfy the most discriminating hard bop fan, and percussive spice that offers contrast. Harper is joined by up-and-coming tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen and trumpeter Patrick Rickman, bassist Eric Revis, the great pianist ...

Be Yourself (1994) more music like this

by Winard Harper

The music on Winard Harper's Epicure release (Art Blakey-ish romps, boogaloos, ballads, and bop) is straight from vintage Blue Note stylewise, although the majority of the songs are actually group originals. But, as with the best revival Dixieland of the 1950s, the musicianship, enthusiasm, and creativity of the musicians (within the genre's ...

Harper Brothers (1988) more music like this

by The Harper Brothers

The debut CD from the Harper Brothers helped give fuel to the Young Lions movement and the revival of hard bop. In addition to some straight-ahead originals, the briefly popular group performs Lee Morgan's "Mogie," a pair of Reuben Brown songs, "Portrait of Jennie," and "Easy to Love." Drummer Winard Harper and trumpeter Philip Harper (who would ...
