The Julian Hartwell Project is a modern jazz quintet/sextet that melds elements of funk, hip-hop, RnB and more into its upbeat and memorable sound. A vehicle for the mostly original music and arrangements of pianist and composer Julian Hartwell, this rotating cast of up-and-coming players from the Philly scene spotlights the talents of each individual voice in the ensemble, while bursting with moments of group interplay and rich, adventurous horn arrangements. In 2015 the group released their first full-length album to widespread critical acclaim and continue to perform throughout the northeast, honing a dynamic and always-unique live show. With a mix of influence ranging from the likes of boundary-crossers Snarky Puppy to straight-ahead pioneers like Roy Hargrove, the group known shorthand as "The JHP" is offering a fresh and distinctly soulful take on the jazz idiom, appealing to both the traditional and novice listener alike.
"A splendid slice of straight ahead jazz delivered with a fresh new sound.” -Ed Blanco, All About Jazz
“This is feel good music that doesn’t get too unapproachable like so many jazz groups get…making music that appeals not only to the head, but to the heart as well.” -Mark Weber, Mark Weber Music Blog
