Eric Harland on his introduction to jazz + finding your voice

Eric Harland talks about his introduction to jazz and finding your voice as a musician. A 2014-15 SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, Harland's first Residency at the SFJAZZ Center begins January 29th, 2014—featuring Bay Area stars Taylor Eigsti, Julian Lage (w/ TEJ Trio) and Chris Turner (w/ Harland's Voyager), Snarky Puppy and even some live video gaming!

Eric Harland's Top 5 of 2014

SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director Eric Harland is hands down one of the most versatile and active drummers on the scene today. In the past year alone, we've caught him with Dave Holland's Prism and Sangam (w/ fellow Resident Artistic Director Zakir Hussain + 2014 NEA Jazz Master inductee Charles Lloyd). He held down the drum seat in the SFJAZZ Collective for eight years (2005-12). And today, Harland's carving his own path—notably dropping beats with The Loop Loft and leading his own project Voyager, who released their debut studio album Vipassana earlier this year.

Before his 2015 SFJAZZ Residency in January—featuring Snarky Puppy, Bay Area stars Taylor Eigsti, Julian Lage and Chris Turner, and even Madden 15 videogamers—Harland took a quick look back on 2014, sharing his Top 5!
