Savannah Harris is a New York City-based drummer, composer, and producer. Raised in Oakland, California by musicians, she started playing drums at age two. While steeped in the traditions of jazz, her more recent work reflects her versatility.

Savannah has recorded with rock, pop and experimental artists such as Helado Negro, Kate Davis, Justin Allen, and Standing on the Corner. Her jazz recordings include releases from Peter Evans, María Grand, and Or Bareket. She’s performed live with Jason Moran, Ambrose Akinmusire, Kenny Barron, Terence Blanchard, Joel Ross, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Melanie Charles, and Marta Sanchez. Her latest release is Beyond Dragons with Angelika Niescer and Tomeka Reid on Intakt Records.

In 2019, Savannah was awarded the Harlem Stage Emerging Artist Award, and she received her master’s in jazz performance from Manhattan School of Music. She was featured twice in the January 2021 issue of Modern Drummer as both a featured artist and a contributing writer. In October of 2021, she debuted her solo piece “With Inner Sound, Truth” commissioned by Issue Project Room as a tribute to composer Ruth Anderson. Savannah was also featured in Sixteen Journal’s “JAZZ” edition.
