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 -

The Power of Persistence
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PERSISTENCE ...
"Lots of people LIMIT THEIR POSSIBILITIES by
GIVING UP EASILY. NEVER tell yourself this is
TOO MUCH FOR ME. It's NO USE. I CAN'T GO ON.
If you do you're LICKED, and by your OWN THINKING TOO.
Keep BELIEVING and keep on KEEPING ON."
~ Norman Vincent Peale
FALL SEVEN TIMES AND STAND UP EIGHT!
NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP!

Happy MEMORIAL DAY !

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ROLLING THUNDER ...
The Rolling Thunder Bike Rally takes place every year in Washington D.C. where almost 900,000 bikers converge on our nation’s capital in remembrance of our brave soldiers who are missing in action, prisoners of war and those men and women who have given their lives fighting for our freedom.
FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE! WE MUST BE WILLING TO
PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.
ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL
IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING!
