There’s a lot to savor and appreciate down below!  \nAbout Jerome Harris \nJerome Harris’s first major professional performing experience came as bass guitarist with the iconic jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins in 1978.  Harris has performed on six continents\, working with Jack DeJohnette\, David Krakauer\, Bill Frisell\, Paul Motian\, Leni Stern\, Martha Redbone\, Ray Anderson\, Julius Hemphill\, Amina Claudine Myers\, Ned Rothenberg\, Oliver Lake\, and many others in jazz and jazz-adjacent genres. \nJerome Harris appears on over seventy recordings.  He has taught at Hampshire College\, William Paterson University\, Lehman College (City University of New York)\, and the Alternative Guitar Summit Camp. Harris’s published essays include “Considering Jaki Byard” (in Sound American SA22; New York: Anthology of Recorded Music\, Inc.\, 2019)\, and “Jazz on the Global Stage” (in The African Diaspora: A Musical Perspective; edited by Ingrid Monson; New York: Routledge/Taylor & Francis\, 2000). He studied at Harvard College (A.B. 1973) and New England Conservatory of Music (B.M. with honors\, 1977).  \nAbout Ron Wasserman  \nRon Wasserman\, a fourth-generation musician and lifelong New Yorker\, has an unusually diverse track record of performing\, composing\, commissioning\, and producing music.

Rufus Reid\, Courtney Bryan\, Stephanie Ann Boyd\, and himself. In 2017 his New York Jazzharmonic partnered with The Ashley Bouder Project when they started accompanying professional dance concert performances.

One\, with his full 17-piece band was recorded in 2019 with a 2023 release. \nDuring the pandemic\, Ron started filming dance videos\, culminating in his “Curbside Nutcracker\,” which garnered a viral half-million views\, and his fully produced narrative movie filmed at the Bronx Zoo: “Backstage Pass: Carnival of the Animals.” \nAt the New York City Ballet\, Ron has also arranged\, transcribed\, and/or conducted works by Wayne Shorter\, Stravinsky\, Piazzolla\, and Solange Knowles’ \nBackstage Pass: https://youtu.be/Oo8A5UprCI4 \nCurbside Nutcracker: https://youtu.be/pH0JLfSKv04 \nAbout MFM (https://www.MusiciansForMusicians.org)  \nMFM seeks to bring together musicians from all disciplines\, styles\, traditions and localities in the cause of their mutual self-betterment. Whether through education\, networking or political action\, MFM’s ultimate goal is to elevate the work of all musicians to the level of a true profession. \n
