I can't tell you much about Mr Harden. He wrote, produced and performed all four tracks on this EP of his, and someone called Charles Wade lent his sax stylings to one of the tracks, and that's the sum total of the info he's supplied with his CD. It consists of four very retro-sounding instrumentals with titles such as "We Worship You" and "Ol Skol Worship Jam" (sic). I guess if you asked John to describe his music, he'd say it was smooth jazz gospel. In reality, it sounds like the sort of thing you hear when you press an electronic keyboards demo button. Could be a whole new genre though: Gospel Muzak.
