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.)
