Join us Saturday February 21 at 7pm for the next Jazz Sanctuary concert at United Parish in Brookline with saxophonist, Gregory Groover Jr. and pianist, Kevin Harris. Together, they will present an intimate and powerful program featuring original compositions, Negro spirituals, and selections by Thelonious Monk.
Praised by saxophonist Walter Smith III as a “thematic musician” who leads with heart, energy, and direction, Groover’s artistry seamlessly bridges tradition and innovation. Rooted in the lineage of jazz while boldly pushing its boundaries, his music is rich with narrative, spiritual depth, and emotional clarity.
Acclaimed pianist Kevin Harris, has been described by Fred Hersch as having “real soul” and “flair.” Harris is known for his deeply interactive, exploratory performances that blend tradition with contemporary expression, drawing on Black Gospel and Afro-Caribbean influences. A sought-after collaborator and international performer, Harris brings a profound sense of conversation, curiosity, and play to the music.
