Jamie Michael Harris

MyGen Profile GeneratorI started life in Leicester, studied at Berklee College of Music, Boston, USA, then moved to London. I play saxophone, flute and EWI (Akai's Electric Wind Instrument). I am very much a hack piano player also!!! Past live and recording work is much and varied, but highlights have included; touring and musical director for trumpet legend Eddie Henderson; recording and touring with Nepenthe, a latin jazz project fronted by guitarist and fellow Berklee alum brother Neff Irizarry and featuring bassist Jimmy Haslip; touring with Hammond Organ legend Reuben Wilson across the UK and Germany and touring with ska great Prince Buster. There are many more but these come to mind right now. I'm fortunate to play with some of the UK's finest musicians, and travel all over the place (Tokyo, 2007.. brilliant!!) on someone else's credit card, which can't be a bad thing!2008 has already seen the worldwide release of Afro Elements "It Remains To Be Seen" (Freestyle) and the Japanese release of the debut recording from Dan Ecclestone Band "Songs Without Words" (Inpartmaint), complete with a collaboration with the great Steve Reich on the track entitled "After Reich". This year i'll be playing, touring and recording with the Afro's, Dan Ecclestone, Down To The Bone, Prince Buster and more.PERSONNEL INFO FOR "MY MUSIC" TRACKS CAN BE FOUND IN MY BLOG
