The Jazz Gallery Presents: Eric Harland's Explorations

This weekend, The Jazz Gallery is pleased to welcome drummer Eric Harland and his Explorations project to our stage for four sets of performances. While still one of the top-call sidemen out there, working with everyone from Walter Smith III to Charles Lloyd, Harland has become increasingly busy with different projects as a leader or co-leader. This year has marked the release of two new singles by Harland's new collaborative project Stem Sounds, alongside keyboardist James Francies and producer Josh Giunta. The result is a heady blend of Harland's slippery grooves and rich atmospherics from Francies and Giunta. Check the most recent single, "Stars," featuring vocalist Chris Turner, below.For the Explorations project at the Gallery, Harland will be joined by Turner on vocals, as well as saxophonist Chris Potter and guitarist Gilad Hekselman. Alongside musicians of inimitable technique and aesthetic range, one can only imagine the places this band will go at the Gallery this weekend.Eric Harland's Explorations plays The Jazz Gallery on Friday, May 18, and Saturday, May 19, 2018. The group features Mr. Harland on drums, Chris Potter on saxophones, Chris Turner on vocals, and Gilad Hekselman on guitar. Sets are at 7:30 and 9:30 P.M. each night. $25 general admission ($10 for members), $35 reserved cabaret seating ($20 for members) for each set. Purchase tickets here.
