TERENCE HARPER PROJECT

Performances: 2 Sets | 7:30pm & 9:30pm

Terence Harper started playing the drums at the age of two and at twelve years old began playing the trumpet. While in middle school, Terence began playing the drums for one of the Spelman College Jazz ensembles under the direction of Joe Jennings, while also being featured on a recording with the Inman Middle School jazz band on both trumpet and drums. He went on to matriculate through Rutgers University as a classical trumpet major in 2009, where he studied under William Fielder, who has been regarded as one of the greatest trumpet instructors of his generation. After graduating from Rutgers, Terence relocated to Atlanta, GA where he teaches both privately and publicly.

He occasionally teaches music with the Atlanta Music Project, as well as, continuing to freelance and performs constantly throughout the country. Harper performed weekly at the now defunct yet premier jazz club of Atlanta, Churchill Grounds. Consistently adding to his arsenal, he has studied theory and composition with his father Danny Harper, who is a nationally known and respected music educator at Miles College and also composer and arranger for The Harper Brothers group on Verve record label. He has appeared on numerous radio stations in Atlanta including WCLK and WRFG of Atlanta.

The Jazz Voyager

This week I’m crossing the pond for the first time this year to La Ciotat, France to see my friend Delphine Nérot. She will perform at Chapelle des Minimes as a member of the Deene Trio, made up of accordion, bass and voice. The chapel is located in the southern part of the country on the Mediteranean Sea at Place Guibert, 13600.

The Protestant chapel is small, only 32 meters long and 6 meters wide. During the Revolution it was the headquarters of the Club des Antipolitiques, a popular 1791 society recognized as a subsidiary by the center of rue Thubaneau in Marseille. Adjoining the chapel is a synagogue on the left, open onto the car park Square Verdun, and on the right, a dance academy. The chapel boasts a beautifully crafted 300-year-old door. I know the acoustics will be fantastic.

This is my first time visiting this city and venue and I am so looking forward to this voyage. Although restrictions have been lifted, I am wary about the indoor air quality on planes and indoors with low ventilation, so this Jazz Voyager will still mask and social distance whenever possible. As always, for more information visit notoriousjazz.com/event or  06 09 49 03 24 | www.facebook.com/laciotatculture.
