Review

Make It Happen is a collection of captivating, uplifting and inspiring jazz that will move your body and soul. The Winard Harper sextet, known for attracting jazz newcomers as well as traditionalists, creatively explores the African-Caribbean sound with a large and dynamic band ensemble that will arouse you with its broad-based appeal and unyielding passion.

An outstanding drummer, bandleader, and percussionist, Winard Harper is known throughout the jazz world for his resolute style, tremendous touch and deep knowledge of jazz history. With seven albums to his credit, Make It Happen marks a new plateau in this restless musician's career. Inspired by the musicianship of greats such as Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Jackie McLean, Cannonball Adderley, Dr. Billy Taylor, Art Blakey and Billy Higgins, Harper has been the leader and musical inspiration for a vibrant sextet for almost a decade.

Harper's bands have always been hothouses of improvisation, but Make It Happen is the most adventurous offering of his career. Special guests Wycliffe Gordon and Antonio Hart join long time members Ameen Saleem, Josh Evans, Lawrence Clark, T.W. Sample, Sean Higgins, Stacy Dillard and Alioune Faye. Make It Happen also features Harper's full percussion section: Abdou Mboup, Kevin Jones, and Jeremy Jones. In addition, Harper's resonant balafon playing adds a distinctive touch and tone to this unique ensemble, its power and precision barely contained in cohesive group fireworks.
