Grammy Nominated Jazz Harpist Brandee Younger to Perform in Brattleboro

The Vermont Jazz Center in Brattleboro presents harpist Brandee Younger.

She will be performing with her working trio: Rashaan Carter on electric and acoustic basses, and Allan Mednard on drums.

Many Vermont Jazz Center aficionados were moved by Younger’s appearance with Makaya McCraven’s ensemble last February. Since then, she has been consistently on the move: releasing a solo harp EP and touring London, Germany, Brooklyn, the Netherlands, Portugal, Australia, Brussels and beyond.

Initially, listeners might not associate the harp with jazz music, which is one of the reasons why this concert is so significant. Brandee Younger is passionate about the harp’s role in the jazz tradition, and one of her goals is to correct the inaccuracies of our misconceptions.

“Younger has almost single-handedly made a persuasive argument for the harps’ role in contemporary jazz.” – The New York Times
