Grammy Nominated Jazz Guitarist Rod Harris Jr. is becoming a
prevalent musical force and well known amongst jazz
guitarists and musicians within the U.S and abroad. After
spending much of the previous decade (2009 – 2019)
recording, touring and performing with various legendary
artists spanning multiple genres, RHJ is emerging as a notable
artist and jazz guitarist in his own right. In 2016, RHJ released
his debut jazz-funk album "The Counsel Of Elders", which pays
homage to jazz guitar luminaries Wes Montgomery, Grant
Green, George Benson, and Kenny Burrell. In March 2018, Rod
released his well-anticipated hip-hop/jazz EP entitled “Exits &
Options”. The “X/O” Ep features renditions of classic songs as
well as original material. In 2018, RHJ received a Grammy
Nomination for his guitar work and musical contributions on
Neo-Soul Legend Musiq Soulchild’s album “Feel The Real”. Rod
can also be seen performing in the hit film biopics “Cadillac
Records” (starring Beyoncé and Adrian Brody) and “Bessie”
(starring Queen Latifah) and most recently season 2 of BET’s
“American Soul” (Feb 2020).

Currently, RHJ is touring the east coast U.S with his newly
formed jazz organ group. RHJ’s jazz organ group consists of
organist Scott Giddens, drummer Larry Wilson and saxophonist
Derrick James. RHJ’s music is available on all Internet music
stores (Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc.)
