In 1926 a little jazz club was opened in the basement of a drugstore
located at 11th and U St. called Club Caverns. Club Caverns soon became
famous for their floor and variety shows.



Washington's elite would come in droves dressed in their most formal attire, to be entertained by the likes of Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway. In the 1950's Club Caverns soon became known as Crystal Caverns. The club would operate
successfully, but it would reach its zenith peak when the club became
known as Bohemian Caverns in the late 1950's to early 1960's. Best
known for its great Jazz and elegant atmosphere.

In 1962 Ramsey Lewis recorded "The Ramsey Lewis Trio at the Bohemian
Caverns." This recording earned accolades and great commercial success.
Mr. Lewis would shine another bright light on the corner of 11th and U St. when he won a Grammy for his recording "The In Crowd" recorded on the LP, "The In Crowd, Live at the Bohemian Caverns."

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF

WINARD HARPER


http://www.litchfieldjazzfest.com/uploads/images/photos/2008/WinardHarperLJF08_Sussman.jpg

Drummer WINARD HARPER is passionate about jazz. "This music is powerful," he says. "It can do a lot of good for people.
If they'd spend some time each day listening to it,
we would see many changes in the world."



Inspired by the musicianship of greats such as Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Jackie McLean, Cannonball Adderley, Dr. Billy Taylor, Art Blakey and Billy Higgins, Harper has been the leader and musical inspiration for a vibrant sextet for almost a decade. The group appears regularly all over the United States from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to Yoshi's, the legendary West Coast jazz club. Although clearly the dominant force behind this extraordinarily gifted ensemble, Harper has surrounded himself with superbly talented young guardians of the jazz tradition (including Lawrence Clark, Ameen Saleem, Josh Evans, Stacy Dillard and Alioune Faye), who are as entertaining to watch as they are to listen to Born in Baltimore in 1962, Winard had a natural affinity for drumming. He was encouraged to play the drums by his father, who noticed him beating on cans when he was three or four years old. At the age of five, Winard was developing his skills and making guest appearances with his older brother Danny's nightclub band. A turning point was reached when Winard heard a recording of Clifford Brown and Max Roach. It was then that he was irreversibly inspired to play jazz. "I was fascinated hearing Max do
the things he did playing with mallets and everything," he remembers.

http://www.philbrodieband.com/muso_winard-harper6.jpg

"Early on," Harper continues, "I transcribed a couple of Max solos, but I really just loved listening to him. He was a
big influence as well as Art Blakey, and more so than anybody, Billy
Higgins. The joy and the passion and his love of playing really made an
impact on me. I could see similarities between myself and him, and then
we became such great friends. A lot of the concept of my band was
inspired by Billy. A lot of the African influences and different
instruments I use in the band, Billy was always exploring as well."

Constantly in reverence of his predecessors while remaining innovative in his own right, Harper has become one of the most celebrated drummers in jazz. He is a virtuoso on the drum set as well as the balafon, the West African equivalent of the marimba. Critics have written that Winard is as pleasing and entertaining to watch as he is to hear. "As tasteful a drummer as one could ask for," according to Jeff Kaliss of JazzTimes. Franz Matzner recently wrote in All About Jazz that the sextet's performance "culminated in an evening of fireworks with a Sustained display of percussive pyrotechnics by Harper so rapid fire, so mind bogglingly dexterous, and so expressively diverse, as to be truly
awe-inspiring." And in a Washington Post review, Mike Joyce said,
"Winard Harper's wonderfully orchestrated solos alone might have forced
a corpse to grin!"

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Dexter_Gordon1.jpg

Harper's first major gig was with Dexter Gordon in 1982,

http://www.jazzchicago.net/images/Sept08/JG3.jpg

and shortly thereafter with Johnny Griffin. It wasn't long
before his drumming skills captured the attention of .

http://www.nga.ch/img/Blue%20Img/Betty_Carter_1997.JPG

He spent four years working with Ms. Carter's band, inevitably honing his
jazz-as-entertainment sense of showmanship. "With Betty I learned
consistency and persistence," Harper recalls. "Working with her
prepared me to become a bandleader; I learned a lot about the business
from her. When I left Betty's band, I came out with enough information
to get the Harper Brothers on the way. She gave me the inside track on
bookings, clubs, most of the places we worked were the same places I
worked with her."

During the 1980s while Winard worked as a sideman to such jazz legends as Ray Bryant,

and Clifford Jordan, he also laid the foundation for what would become
The Harper Brothers band. He and his brother Philip launched a band
that would blaze a brilliant trail both on the charts and on the
international touring circuit.




"Man for man, The Harper Brothers Quintet … is the most brilliant new jazz group of the new decade," declared Leonard Feather in his review of the band's Los Angeles performance in early 1990. Remembrance, the band's second album went to #1 on Billboard's jazz chart in 1991.



Piadrum recording artist Winard Harper is one of the hardest working drummers in jazz today, not only leading his very
exciting and hard-swinging sextet, but also continuing as an in-demand
sideman. When not touring with his band,

http://www.wgte.org/wgte/content/items/image/2567_200905030808.jpg

Harper continues to work and
record with such artists such as Joe Lovano,

http://www.averysharpe.com/downloads/Avery-Sharpe-4614-hires.jpg

Avery Sharpe, Steve Turre,
Wycliffe Gordon, Frank Wess, Ray Bryant, and Jimmy Heath. His newest
CD, Make It Happen, goes further than any of his previous six releases
to highlight his talent as drummer, composer and bandleader.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1136/1121893854_b8ee27016b.jpg

And now the Winard Harper Sextet moves to a new level of success. Not only is the band gaining increased air play
around the globe, they regularly appear in festivals, on jazz cruises,
in concert halls and in top jazz clubs, the Winard Harper Sextet is
doing their part to bring the power of jazz to audiences everywhere.
The response has been nothing short of remarkable. But then again, so
is Winard Harper. "Man for man, The
