About Remi Harris

By Helen Armitage on 10 Young British Jazz Musicians You Should Know, The Culture Trip website.

“Remi Harris first picked up the guitar at the tender age of seven and though he counts classic rock legends like Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin amongst his early influences, by age 20 he was hooked on jazz. Harris’ is an eclectic, unique playing style that fuses jazz and gypsy swing with elements from rock, blues, hip hop and world music and following the release of his debut album Ninick, he was described by British jazz legend Digby Fairweather as ‘securely in the front line of the world’s finest jazz guitarists’.

“Most recently, Harris has performed at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival as part of Jamie Cullum’s live BBC Radio 2 show and is currently planning a second album.”
