The Jeanette Harris Band

This trip shows that we are getting closer to our goals, getting to do the things we've always wanted to do. Our parents always stressed that you had to work hard to get the things you want in life--it is amazing to see it all starting to pay off.

Even after playing to enthusiastic audiences for nearly six years, this will be Jeanette's first international trip. "I've never been so excited. It will be a true honor to bring our style of music to Japan." Despite graduating from the prestigious Berklee College of Music, and being recognized as the "Best Jazz Instrumentalist" by the L.A. Black Music Awards in 2004, Jeanette doesn't take the band's success for granted. "We're truly blessed and will work hard to make the most of this opportunity".

This journey comes on the heels of the release of the Jeanette Harris Band's latest album, "Reflections." The new album contains a sophisticated and diverse set of arrangements, reflecting the growing maturity and confidence of these young artists. The title track is particularly engaging, as it soothes the listener with sexy, haunting vocals, interspersed with the silky melodies of Jeanette's saxophone.

The Jeanette Harris Band will play in Japan through February, before returning to California to gear up for stateside engagements and begin work on their next album. Jeanette sees Japan as an opportunity on many levels. "This trip shows that we are getting closer to our goals, getting to do the things we've always wanted to do. Our parents always stressed that you had to work hard to get the things you want in life--it is amazing to see it all starting to pay off."
