Everett Harp
Everette’s Harp’s popular 1997 tribute to Marvin Gaye’s 1971 watershed album What’s Going On combined the best of his two worlds, modern day contemporary jazz and the classic soul he grew up with. His newest release,”For the Love” strips away the diversions and focuses purely on Harp’s ability to convey powerful emotions via playing, beautiful melodies and sensuous rhythms.The result, I believe is my most focused project to date.”To help him find that crucial balance, Harp brought in veteran producer Steve Dubin (George Benson, Al Jarreau, Richard Elliot) to co-write (with Harp) and produce six of the tracks. “Steve’s objective point of view added so much to the recording process.”
Over the years, Harp has also performed and/or recorded with a wide variety of pop, R&B and jazz superstars — Luther Vandross, Dionne Warwick, Jeffrey Osborne, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Al Jarreau, After 7, Phil Perry, Go West, Natalie Cole, Chante Moore, Will Downing, John Tesh, Branford Marsalis, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, Marcus Miller, George Duke, Patti LaBelle, Kenny Loggins, Stanley Clarke, Tina marie, Michael McDonald and Larry Carlton among others.
