Jeanette Harris is undoubtedly the Sax Queen of smooth jazz, boldly redefining the genre with her electrifying performances. Her dynamic stage presence and uplifting musical energy create an irresistible force that captivates audiences everywhere. Fans rave about her stunning cover of Stevie Wonder’s “All I Do,” a standout track that climbed the Billboard smooth jazz chart from her acclaimed album *Saxified*. 

With rigorous classical training in saxophone and piano from Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music, Jeanette Harris showcases a level of artistry that distinctly sets her apart in the smooth jazz genre. Her experience as the saxophonist for the legendary Teena Marie during her final year of touring is a testament to her resilience and unwavering dedication to her craft.

Jeanette’s influence extends beyond her solo work. She has collaborated with celebrated guitarist Norman Brown, and her work is prominently featured on the 2011 release Saxified. Her compositions for Gerald Albright and her performances at prominent jazz festivals and venues across the United States, Japan, Germany, and London have solidified her as a force in the jazz community. Her latest album, Her Majesty, has become a fan favorite, illustrating her masterful fusion of popular covers and soulful originals.

For Jeanette, performing on stage is not just a passion; it is her purpose. She is deeply grateful for the remarkable musical opportunities she has seized and is fully prepared for the many more that lie ahead. Her dedication and commitment to her art are evident in every note she plays.

Born and raised in Kansas City, KS, Julian Vaughn was primarily a drummer when he picked up the bass guitar. He developed his playing style growing up in the church where his grandfather pastored — later led by his father — and eventually began playing concerts and gospel recordings.

Julian has followed up with Limitless (2015), Bona Fide (2017), Supreme (2019), and Chapters of Love (2021). With 4 Billboard #1s on his own and 8 as a featured artist, he’s become a true jazz chart veteran.

In 2020, Julian was ranked the #2 Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year and scored both the #2 and #17 Billboard Songs of the Year with “Afro Calypso” and “Afternoon Delight.”

Julian has performed at the biggest jazz festivals across the U.S. and internationally in Dubai, South Africa, Nigeria, Nairobi, Italy, Spain, and Germany, inspiring audiences everywhere with his soulful bass melodies.

SOLO, his latest independent album, is being hailed as his best work to date — written, produced, and played almost entirely by Julian himself. He continues to elevate the role of the lead bassist in modern jazz.
