He has released the double album ""Jungo"" in 2025 and ""A Bird is Whiter than The Moon"" in 2026 (haroldcarr.bandcamp.com). For this concert the pieces range from miniatures exploring Béla Bartók's Mikrokosmos, to longer forms based on David Liebman's chromatic approach. Joining Harold will be quantum research scientist and pianist Unpil Baek.
Harold Carr has performed and recorded with numerous artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Crystal Gayle, Lightnin' Hopkins, John McCuen, Steve Lacy, Catie Curtis, Matt Flinner, Alan Braufman, Gino Robair, Andrew Voigt, Jin Hi Kim, Henry Kaiser, Miya Masaoka and John Stowell.
Harold has been a musician/poet-in-residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada, guest soloist at the Frutillar Music Festival in Chile, composer/soloist with the Guangdong Modern Dance Company in Guang Zhou, China, invited poet for the Utah State Governor at the Governor's Mansion, commissioned composer/performer at New Music America and artist-in-residence at Zion Canyon Mesa.
He has worked with the Windolls Theatre of Images in Colombia, Hong Kong, San Francisco and Seattle. He has been a member of a number of popular Utah-based bands such as The Cowdaddies, Red Rock Rondo and blue haiku, the Emily Merrell Group, The Jarman/Kingston Quartet, Amnesia, Wood, the Mark Chaney Trio, Better off with the Blues, and Te Azul. He was previously on the music faculty at the University of Utah and Westminster University.
Unpil Baek is research scientist who builds bridges across domains, spanning areas such as quantum computing, AI, and computational chemistry. In parallel he is a pianist, composer, and arranger whose music sits at the crossroads of jazz, Brazilian, Western and Indian classical, and contemporary traditions.
