Harnell, Jason
Percussion

Jason Harnell started playing the drums at the ripe old age of six when long-time family friend Louie Bellson gave him his first real drum set.  Jason attended the University of South Florida as a jazz performance major and moved to L.A. in 1990.  Soon after, Jason joined Maynard Ferguson’s Big Bop Noveau Band.   He toured the world with Maynard and recorded These Cats Can Swing (Concord Jazz). He has also toured extensively with contemporary jazz keyboardist Keiko Matsui. Recently, Jason has performed and/or recorded with such prestigious jazz artists as Kei Akagi, Bob Sheppard, Steve Tavaglione, Darek Oles, David Goldblatt and on sessions for Nissan and Verizon. Currently, Jason is leading his own trio featuring Larry Koonse and Joe Bagg as well as being a member of the bass-less trio “Joe-less Shoe” with Matt Otto and Jamie Rosenn.  Jason teaches private lessons at University California Irvine as well as for PIT. www.jasonharnell.com.
