Harriet Tubman Band is a genre-defying project that stitches electronic textures with jazz, rock, and funk. Formed in 1998 in New York City by a trio of formidable players — Melvin Gibbs on bass, Brandon Ross on guitar, and J.T. Lewis on drums — the group has carved out a distinct, boundary-pushing sound. Over the years, the band has become a go-to reference for listeners seeking a thoughtful blend of jazz tradition and adventurous, modern experimentation.

Exploring concepts from doom-jazz to avant-rock, the band’s discography presents a clear throughline of fearless experimentation. Their most recent releases include The Terror End of Beauty (2018) and Araminta (2017), both released on Sunnyside Records, with The Terror End of Beauty issued on vinyl via Early Future Records. Araminta features Wadada Leo Smith, expanding the group’s collaborative reach.
