Brandee Younger Trio

Arrow Street Arts

Harpist Brandee Younger, current Resident Artistic Director at the illustrious SF Jazz, is carving a unique path in the music world while honoring the legacy of those who paved her way. Her most recent album, Brand New Life, pays tribute to jazz harp trailblazer Dorothy Ashby, a Black female musician who defied expectations by becoming a bandleader and composer on an unconventional instrument.  

“Younger’s flawless technique allows for a freedom of movement that gives her harp a vocal quality, whether leading a composition or in conversation with a guest vocalist… She pulls off intricate arpeggios that would be difficult—or impossible?—on another instrument. ”
