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 -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT EMOTIONS ...
"The question is figuring out the EMOTIONS
of the COMPOSER, where he's COMING FROM,
and then TAPPING INTO IT the same way an actor
would in approaching a role."
~ Joshua Bell
MUSIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. IT ALLOWS
US TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME EMOTIONS. PEOPLE
EVERYWHERE ARE THE SAME IN HEART AND SPIRIT!

Dear Richard
May you begin this day with a smile on your face, and with happiness for your soul to embrace.
HAPPY SATURDAY!
The greatest thing in the world
is to know how to be one's own self.
~Michel de Montaigne
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
“Happiness comes when you believe in what you are doing, know what you are doing, and love what you are doing.” — Brian Tracy
Hugs and Smiles!
