FYI Washington, DC ☛ The Brandee Younger Jazz Harp Quartet to Play at Bohemian Caverns 5/31 & 6/1!
PRESS RELEASE
NYC Harpist Brandee Younger brings her swingin’ jazz harp quartet to DC for a rare appearance. Younger will play at Bohemian Caverns with young heavyweights EJ Strickland on drums, Dezron Douglas on bass and Stacy Dillard on saxophones – each of whom are bandleaders in their own right.
Heavily influenced by Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane, Younger has developed a beautiful, fresh sound all her own. Equally at home with classical music and jazz, Brandee Younger emerged from the same Long Island music milieu as her elder contemporaries Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Public Enemy, EPMD, and Rakim, and has incorporated hip-hop and other diverse genres into her musical vocabulary.
