| Orchestra or Band | Harper Trio (Maria-Christina Harper, Evan Jenkins, Josephine Davies) |
| Performance Notes | Greek-born with Egyptian roots, electric jazz harpist and composer Maria-Christina Harper combines her traditional music roots with free jazz creating an irresistible, compelling sound cosmos.
Maria-Christina collaborates with two outstanding, highly acclaimed players to form the Harper Trio featuring drummers-drummer Evan Jenkins and the dynamic saxophonist Josephine Davies.
Flirting with the avant-garde and psychedelia, the Harper Trio create an exciting, inventive, 60s-70s spiritual free jazz sound, where East meets West.
Passing By is the Harper Trios striking debut album and features seven original tracks written by Maria-Christina Harper specifically for the trio. Featuring graceful, meditative soundscapes, enticing melodies, electric harp-created bass loops, shimmering drums, discreet at times, wild at others and a warm, soulful yet probing saxophone. Its a powerful listen. |
