As co-founder of The Harper Brothers\, Winard helped define post-bop jazz in the late ’80s and early ’90s. \n\n\n\nToday\, he leads the electrifying Jeli Posse\, blending African rhythms with American jazz traditions. At Moore’s Lounge\, he’s not just a performer—he’s a mentor\, curator\, and cultural steward. His jam sessions are more than music—they’re masterclasses in legacy\, community\, and joy. \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\n🎟️ Why You Can’t Miss This Night \n\n\n\nThis isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of history\, artistry\, and the heartbeat of Jersey City jazz.
