Anyone who has spent any time around the NE Wisconsin music scene knows about John Harmon. John is a world class jazz pianist and composer who studied under the great Oscar Peterson and played with the likes of Ray Brown and Milt Jackson. In the 1970s he formed the progressive jazz band Matrix who turned out six critically accaimed albums and toured the world. John's sons, Noah and Zach, are both extremely talented musicians. Noah, a keyboard player, is part of Kyle Megna and the Monsoons and Zach is a polyrhythmic drummer who has played with a number of artists both in LA and NE Wisconsin. Put them together and you have an incredible jazz trio with some deep musical roots called The Harmon Boyz.
