J Michael Harris Debuts “Bounce,” a Genre-Melding Exploration of Jazz and Electronica

J Michael Harris merges modern groove and classic jazz in new single “Bounce.”

“Bounce,” the new release from J Michael Harris, introduces a bold blend of electronica and jazz. Serving as a preview to his upcoming album, the track builds a sonic world rooted in rhythm and innovation.

From the first bar, “Bounce” pulses with energy, carried by Harris’ performance across a range of instruments — from saxophone and Fender Rhodes to synths and flute. His inspiration comes from pioneers like Robert Glasper and J Dilla, and that influence is present in the track’s structure and style.

Featuring a world-class ensemble including Freddy Sheed, Jimmy Haslip, Mo Pleasure, Karlos Edwards, and Henry Collins, the collaboration enhances the track’s dynamic depth. The production is polished to a high standard by Guy Massey.

“Bounce” is a standalone experience, yet it points toward a larger project that promises to challenge and expand genre boundaries.
