Winard Harper was a child prodigy.  At 5 years old, Winard would sometimes sit in and play drums in his older brother Danny’s rock & roll band.

His younger brother Philip eventually joined to play trumpet. By the ‘80s, Winard had assembled the forerunner of his future band – The Harper Brothers Band.

The band eventually evolved into the Winard Harper Sextet which is now known as Winard Harper and Jeli Posse.
