KEYON HARROLD's most recent critically acclaimed album The Mugician is sweeping and cinematic, drawing on elements of Jazz, Classical, Rock, Blues & Hip Hop to create something uniquely modern, unmistakably American. Guests, including Pharoahe Monch, Gary Clark Jr., Big K.R.I.T., Georgia Anne Muldrow and robert glasper , add to the record's eclectic nature, but it ultimately triumphs as a unified, cohesive whole because of Harrold's virtuosic skill as a trumpeter and songwriter.
Keyon Harrold grew up one of 16 children in a family that prioritized music and community across generations. Culture shock hit Harrold hard at 18, when he left Ferguson for New York City to enroll in The New School. In New York, he landed his first major gig with Common, an experience which he says broadened his musical horizons beyond Jazz to include Funk, Afrobeat, R&B, and Hip Hop. Soon he was performing with stars like Snoop Dogg, Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Eminem, Maxwell, and Anthony Hamilton.
Keyon Harrold has also performed, recorded or toured with Dr. Lonnie Smith, David Sanborn, Joss Stone, Gregory Porter, Billy Harper (The Cookers), Terrace Martin, herbie hancock , Maurice Brown, Eric Krasno, Karl Denson and many others.
The Keyon Harrold Quintet includes Acclaimed Jazz Guitarist NIR FELDER who GLIDE MAGAZINE calls the "Next Big Jazz Guitarist"; Bassist BURNISS TRAVIS whose credits include performing and recording with Robert Glasper and Esperanza Spalding; Renowned Drummer CHARLES HAYNES who MODERN DRUMMER calls "A true drumming multi-talent" and who has toured the globe performing with Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, and Queen Latifah; and Prolific Pianist JAHARI STAMPLEY who has toured with Legendary Bassist Stanley Clarke.
