Jazz

For more than two decades, the musicians behind the Jamie Harris Jazz Trio have been sharing stages, swapping songs and putting their own distinctive stamp on some of the finest music ever written. Playing together since 1999, the trio brings a rich musical tapestry woven from blues, jazz, soul and rock 'n' roll, alongside a handful of original compositions and a generous helping of imaginative reinterpretations of classic songs. This is not a band interested in reproducing records note for note. Instead, they breathe new life into familiar favourites, finding fresh grooves, unexpected twists and moments of pure spontaneity. At the heart of the trio is Jamie Harris, a powerful vocalist and percussionist whose expressive performances have taken him around the world. Jamie toured internationally with legendary British jazz pioneer Trevor Watts, one of the founders of the influential Spontaneous Music Ensemble and a towering figure in European jazz. On bass is Roger Carey, one of the most respected musicians on the UK live music circuit.
