A fearless and versatile talent, harpist Brandee Younger defies genres and labels as a classically-trained musician playing in the avant-garde tradition of her sonically forward predecessors Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. Ms. Younger delivers a consistently fresh take on the ancient instrument as an educator, concert curator, performer and leader of the Brandee Younger Quartet. Following her acclaimed Impulse! releases Somewhere Different (2021) and Brand New Life (2023), she cemented her status as one of the most influential voices in modern jazz. In 2025, she continued on this path with her latest album, Gadabout Season, on which she once again redefines the boundaries of the harp across spiritual jazz, R&B, and contemporary classical music, demonstrating her mastery as a composer.
