Music

The Harvard Jazz Bands play jazz of every kind: Swing, Blues, Bebop, Bossa Nova, Fusion, Latin... and more. We regularly invite guest musicians to join us in playing some of their original arrangements and compositions. In recent years, Harvard Jazz has had the pleasure of hosting and performing with such musicians as Herbie Hancock, Rufus Reid, George Cables, Wallace Roney, Eddie Henderson, Dena DeRose, Harold Mabern, Cassandra Wilson, and many more.

Check out a few of our past performances below, and on our YouTube channel.
