The Harriet Tubman Group is a dynamic, New York–based ensemble that defies easy categorization. Formed in 1998 by guitarist/vocalist Brandon Ross, bassist Melvin Gibbs, and drummer JT Lewis, the group blends jazz with doom-jazz textures, avant-rock energy, and electronic influences to create immersive, boundary-pushing performances. Over the years, they have built a reputation for adventurous improvisation, powerful live shows, and a commitment to pushing the language of jazz forward.
