  • Bio

    OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.RichardHarrisLive.com DIRECT E-MAIL: richard@richardharrislive.com Richard was born in a small town in Michigan, and started on cornet and trumpet in elementary school. He has performed everything from jazz to rock, classical, soul, and blues with groups in the Ann Arbor and Detroit, Michigan area, and in and around Toledo, Ohio. Today he lives and performs out of the Washington DC area. Richard has been influenced by such trumpet luminaries as Chet Baker, Clifford Brown, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, and Chris Botti. In June 2007, Richard was diagnosed with Amyloidosis, a very rare, progressive, debilitating, and fatal disease for which there is currently no cure. He decided to produce and record his first album as the leader of a jazz group, and to dedicate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each CD to the public awareness of Amyloidosis and support for the patients and families that are affected by this devastating disease. Richard has a warm, intimate, romantic sound that mixes warmth and emotion with the lyrical west coast cool jazz sound made popular by trumpet legend Chet Baker. He is quickly becoming a highly sought after trumpeter on the contemporary jazz scene. His new album "Songs From My Heart" has been greeted with rave reviews. Scott Albin of Jazz.com rates the album as "OUTSTANDING. A WORK OF SUPERIOR MERIT". Edward Blanco of EJazzNews.com writes, "Harris features a sextet who together deliver a FIRST RATE PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT. Harris manages to forge his own unique style playing a rich deep toned horn that seems perfect for the warm jazz found here. The original "CLUB HAVANA" is perhaps the breakout number of the album filled with delicious solos from the tenorist and Harris on flugelhorn as Kieswetter leaves the piano for electric piano dicing the sound in what turns out to be one riveting number eding in a crescendo of sounds...Sample the Richard Harris debut "Songs From My Heart" and ALLOW THIS ENCHANTING AND IMPRESSIVE SESSION OF CONTEMPORARY JAZZ TO TOUCH A PART OF YOUR SOUL." CD IS AVAILABLE AT: www.RichardHarrisLive.com AND CD Baby.com

    "You will find as you look back upon your LIFE

    that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED

    THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.

    WHAT IS SACRED?  OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?

    WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH

    DYING FOR?  THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.

    ONLY LOVE.
