Episode 171
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Bandleader, educator, and improviser Brandee Younger plays the harp. But while she has classical training and knows her way around Ravel and Debussy, she has long been fascinated by harpists like Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane, Black women who created new spaces for the harp in the worlds of jazz and pop. Brandee Younger’s new album is called Gadabout Season, and on it, she plays her own compositions, and plays them on Alice Coltrane’s own harp. She and her trio play in-studio.
Set list: 1. Gadabout Season 2. New Pinnacle 3. BBL
