Why jazz harp??

[@liuzh1han]

Damn another Coltrane jazz legend

[@diamond_star9267]

Indeed, and in case you're unaware, the two of them were spouses and apparently Alice was the one who got John into spiritual music and spiritualism in general.

[@elberethreviewer5558]

Is she related to the famous Coltrane?

[@The-KP]

Alice Coltrane yes she's the widow of John Coltrane. She is really something.. sit down and give her a listen.

[@elberethreviewer5558]

@@The-KP I will! I had no clue. Thank you!

[@driftliketokyo34ftw35]

There’s another car on the Col-train.

[@beniciokeys]

Brandee Younger is seriously one of my favorite harpists of all time, so happy you were able to talk with her. Her work on Resavoir's album was absolutely beautiful!

[@akashboinpally4389]

bro no way they did work with resavoir I love those guys

[@beniciokeys]

@@akashboinpally4389 Yes!!! Check out "Taking Flight," it's one of my favorite Resavoir songs. Brandee sounds so amazing on there!

[@Bassic778]

Also check out Dorothy Ashby. She's featured on Stevie Wonder's song " Is it Magic".

[@boie5419]

was looking for this comment! she was so amazing

[@jesse_eg]

Dorothy’s Harp is a great album and should be in everyone’s rotation.

[@NicolaMenel]

Nala Sinephro is also a great jazz harpist. Love her album Space 1.8

[@elvin211]

Edmar is terrific! one of my favourite musician

[@piano_and_bouldering]

Thank you so much, I really enjoy your crossovers in the last time, beat making, organ, harp, Jazz and Classic. Crossovers help everyone 😊 I enjoy your content❤

[@Mephistito]

I'm a huge fan of Hiromi Uehara, and she has done a piece (played live too) with Edmar ! Sounded great

[@8BitsOfFun1323]

Dorothy Ashby is classic

[@Minabezerai]

I'm so surprised she wasn't mentioned! ❤

[@Vossst]

Came here to mention her

[@michelledawnharpist]

@@Minabezeraias a pseudo jazz harpist… SAME. I love her music so much!

[@JoaoVictor-xi7nh]

Dude her recording of "charmaine" is seriously one of the best things to ever come out of jazz in the 50s - it even has jazz flute, another underrated instrument

[@TheMonsterExplorers]

I wouldn’t have ever considered jazz on a harp! That’s sick!!!

[@pleasedyes]

And if you want some crazy stuff (and cool improv), Park Stickney is also great!

[@SamanthaBallard]

A couple more jazz harp recommendations are Amanda Whiting and Benjamin Creighton-Griffiths!

[@martinhan2905]

Eye opening & ear awakening!

[@leonardticsay8046]

Tadao Hayashi was a Jazz harpist I found enjoyable as a kid.

[@nomannic1]

I highly recommend listening to Jazz harpist and legend Dorothy Ashby! Hip harp is one of the coolest jazz albums ive ever heard.

[@hshlom]

Great video. Don't forget Dorothy Ashby, she paved the way for many others!

[@_sonicfive]

Nahre!!! You and your content are just awesome

[@rynxlaneran]

Can't believe Dorothy Ashby didn't get a mention!

[@Peter-sk5vg]

Your posts are fantastic. Great platform

[@stevejohnson1685]

Andreas Vollenweider has been doing chromatic scales, and really nice jazzy music, since about 1982

[@alanfan8941]

He was one of my favorite artists but then my musical tastes underwent another metamorphosis.

[@drcool56]

At last! Someone remembers Andreas!! Chhers mate!!!!!

[@JazzyFizzleDrummers]

Damn, dont leave out my girl Dorothy Ashby! Soft Winds is a hella underrated album

[@clutteredchicagogarage2720]

Brandee Younger is super cool. I love her musical creativity. My daughter is learning harp, and when I first started to research different kinds of harps, I found some videos on youtube that Brandee made about getting started as a harpist. She has a great sense of humor, and, for such a talented musician, a very down-to-earth approach to music. Alice Coltrane's music is incredible and also very unique. I've been listening to many of John Coltrane's albums for the past ~25 years, but I somehow never really got exposed to Alice Coltrane's solo harp work until recently. When I first watched some videos of her leading a band while playing jazz harp, it just blew my mind. In my opinion, she is incredibly creative, and her musical style is quite unique. I've listened to a LOT of jazz in my life-- jazz from the 50s + 60s, bebop, hard bop, cool, free jazz from multiple eras, etc. AND YET, Alice Coltrane's harp-based jazz is really like nothing I had ever heard before. Obviously you can hear the influences of John Coltrane and other jazz greats in her music, but I would still say that her style is very distinct. It's very interesting and, I'd argue, underrated.

[@poundsatl]

don't forget Dorothy Ashby!! ❤❤❤

[@kpunkt.klaviermusik]

Not to confuse with blues harp, which is very common :D

[@Sobers.Chatterjee]

There was a BBC series called Destination Music many years ago; a great Jazz Harp episode was there. One of my favourite tv shows. Btw, the whole Harp culture is largely underrated..

[@jakefairley6993]

That clip of Brandee playing really makes me want to hear harp on a Tigran style progressive jazz track

[@siamsasean]

Super cool. Hope everyone here checks out Harpo Marx. Yeah, the Marx Bro that didn't talk on camera. Did a harp solo in (I think) all their films. Very whimsical, sweet, and improv-ish. Chico played wild & fun piano in all the films too. Allof it had an influence of 20's-30's jazz. Groucho played guitar.Only in one film. In a canoe with a young woman, he's comping chords like one of Django's brothers.

[@A432Hz]

Got to watch Brandee Younger live once. Songs of hers featured on this short: Moving Target Love & Struggle

[@ewtam24]

Beautiful!

[@nevillebossilo7088]

So resourceful madam thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@polyduckwanaland]

Alice Coltrane’s music is pure magic.

[@gravitygal47]

Brandee Younger's playing in this video reminded me of the harp on Makaya McCraven's In These Times. Checked the credits and sure enough that was her!

[@Composer.AnnaGrig]

It’s also very fun to play! And write for

[@ianbruscky]

Alice Coltrane is amazing

[@jons_7402]

I think the first time i've heard harp in any form of Jazz was on Billy Cobham's "Dippin' The Bisquits in the Soup" (AKA the ""WKCR Hijacking" song).

[@kevin2themystic]

Iro Haarla is great too!

[@leonardolagassi2925]

Harpist be like "ok, became too easy, let's jazz it"

[@sergejnekrasov7688]

I can also recommend Park Stickney

[@shan_ma]

Let's not forget Dorothy Ashby

[@brdrnda3805]

We choose to play jazz with a harp and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too

[@bigmistqke]

When i hear Alice Coltrane i immediately hear flylo.

[@JochenVogel]

Nice! You forgot Park Stickney and Deborah Henson-Conant. I'd also recommend the late Kristen Nogues and young talent Charlotte Daun.

[@rhs1856]

and OF COURSE Deborah Henson-Conant

[@HouseJawn]

Damn what a great video

[@The_IRL_Bard]

OMG PLEASE THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BAROQUE HARPA DOPPIA

[@damiengonzalez2527]

Dorothy Ashby as well

[@allwinds3786]

Check out the jazz hornist William Schneider! He's HOT!

[@alphanum001]

The only jazz harpist I knew was Tadao Hayashi.

[@paulograca3937]

Very interresting

[@solkvist8668]

What’s the song that Brandee younger is playing in the live clip at the end? The first example of her is the song moving target from what I can tell, but the second is eluding me

[@velazquezarmouries]

Jazz would work really well with Paraguayan harp

[@formentera4654]

Try Andreas Vollenweider - "semi-jazz" but quite good.

[@GothicOctopus]

I want a chromatic harp, but I won’t deny the abilities of pitch shifters in combination with Moore’s law. We’re gonna get jazz harp soon and I will be very jealous of the people who can play it.

[@zoeydouglas3996]

Wait so if pedals are a big issue why can’t you add more strings to add sharps and flats to it without having to move anything????

[@MictheEagle]

Check out Rubaiyat by Dorothy Ashby.

[@ryushogun9890]

As all jazz should be.

[@MrGreendayzed]

is that flying lotus' aunt?

[@bnroths]

Okay that’s cool!!

[@maciejrzepczyk6562]

Andreas Vollenweider.... Check him out!

[@mothface]

Dorothy Ashby!!!

[@StaringCompetition]

For anyone mining the comments for recommendations (like I’m) I’ll just mention a few virtuosi; Savourna Stevenson, Zeena Parkins, Natalia Mann

[@paulflute]

check out Meave Gilchrist too

[@nazutul]

Dont forget about Nala Sinephro

[@user-wf4nl2yy8x]

No mention of Dorothy Ashby 🥺

[@splashesin8]

😊

[@stoneagealienz874]

sounds like somebody needs to design a harp specifically for jazz. Maybe you can rid of some of the lower and higher strings and add more notes in between or you could work out entirely new pedal configuration. Idk this fees solvable

[@Abe_D-2024]

Tadao Hayashi?

[@lacrimis_solis]

Hell ya a nina shirt

[@wynoglia]

CAN SHE COLLAB WITH HARP GIRL?? Edit: to clarify I meant Emily Hopkins

[@its_zionthelion]

Brandee younger is awsome

[@jpb93360]

Paquito ? Edmar ? latin jazz fan ?

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Jazz tympani is a thing

[@LowKeyTired-q7d]

And Dorothy Ashby

[@thatadhdkid2009]

Please call it jarp

[@52dewey]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@aaaaseul3860]

Jarp

[@HarryGuit]

I heard a lof of words and hardly an harp.

[@GRAHFXENO]

That's not what underrated means

[@ScottWayneJackson]

I hope that this is a joke 🤣

[@Michael_Arnold]

Sounds boring. Not underrated at all.

[@Angelo-777-]

Dorothy Ashby!!
