He has led small ensembles at venues such as the Carnelian Room atop San Francisco’s Bank of America Building; the 2007 San Jose Jazz Festival; the popular Bleu Ginger Asian fusion restaurant, and many others.
In 2005, recording sessions in Chicago with the late jazz legend Johnny Frigo on violin, pianist Joe Vito (who has worked with artists such as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald) and Marian McPartland’s bassist Jim Cox, led to the 2006 release of Harold's debut CD. Released by Chicago’s Southport Records, Out of Nowhere received generous praise from critics nationwide.
Fethe first worked professionally as a musician soon after he began studying guitar in high school, performing with a group whose members went on to musical careers in Roy Orbison's band, and in a chart-topping pop-rock group, The Classics IV. While majoring in literature at the University of Florida, he played in two different musical worlds: a series of successful rock bands on the fraternity circuit, and as the first house guitarist (and first non-Black staff musician) at Sarah's, a jazz and soul music club near the University of Florida. California Express, a folk / country / rock group performing in North Beach and Berkeley rounded out his early musical adventures. California Express's sound is captured on an independently released CD featuring its lead singer, Rich Wilbur.
