Beginning on tenor sax after hearing Grover Washington, Jr., he switched to baritone saxophone in high school. Over more than 30 years, Harding toured extensively, played with groups including Julius Hemphill’s Saxophone Sextet and the Mingus Big Band, and even appeared in the Broadway show FELA!!! before returning to Detroit. At Cliff Bell’s, he played with his group Organ Nation, sharing a rich mixture of jazz experience and improvisation.
