To call Brandee Younger just a jazz harpist does not do her justice, because she not only defies musical genre boundaries, she is currently THE jazz harpist. In 2022, she was the first black woman to be nominated for a Grammy for an instrumental composition. Her playing combines arpeggios with grooves and transports you into a truly magical world of sound without being the least bit dreamy.
