Brandee Younger Trio
1218 Cartwright St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3R8
“Younger’s playing, virtuosic but with a sparkling lightness, invites you to set aside questions of classification, and just savour the sonic finery” — Rolling Stone
The classically trained, genre-unconstrained harpist Brandee Younger recently made history at the 2022 GRAMMY Awards as the first Black female solo artist nominated for Best Instrumental Composition for the mesmerizing Beautiful Is Black. Over her far-ranging career, Younger has performed and recorded across with artists like John Legend, The Roots, Lauryn Hill, Pharoah Sanders, Ravi Coltrane, Ron Carter, and Charlie Haden. A leading light in modern jazz, The New York Times raves that “no harpist has been more capable of combining all of the modern harp traditions—from Salzedo, through Dorothy Ashby, through Alice Coltrane—with such strength, grace and commitment.”
Her trio features Rashaan Carter (Wallace Roney, Cindy Blackman) bass and Allan Mednard (Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jeremy Pelt) drums.
