JazzLeeds – Remi Harris Hot Club Trio

One of the UK’s most exciting guitarists, Remi Harris is joined by double bassist Tom Moore and rhythm guitarist Chris Nesbitt to present an enthralling evening of Gypsy Jazz and Blues. Combining musical virtuosity with passion and flair, this dynamic trio deliver a mesmerising show inspired by Django Reinhardt, Peter Green, Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix and Joe Pass.

Since the age of seven, Remi has dedicated himself to a life of guitar. His playing has taken him from busking on the streets of his local towns to performing at many prestigious events and venues including Buckingham Palace, Montreal Jazz Festival, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum, and on national radio and television.

The Remi Harris Hot Club Trio sees Remi touring the trio format for the first time in six years and is the latest venture amongst many for this busy musician. In 2024 Remi will also be touring with his blues rock project Man of the World: the Music of Peter Green, performing at venues selling out months in advance. He has recently released his third book Gypsy Jazz Soloing Etudes, a follow-up to his previous book 100 Gypsy Jazz Guitar Licks, which made it into the Top 10 in the Amazon Charts, as well as working on a keenly anticipated new album.

Remi’s unique style continues to win him fans from around the world and he has an enthusiastic following on social media that is growing exponentially. His output has also been attracting attention from increasingly renowned quarters, receiving rave reviews from the likes of Dr Martin Taylor MBE who recently said, ‘Remi is a phenomenal player specialising in both gypsy jazz, and blues guitar. He’s a true master of both genres’. With a formidable technique and a genuine passion for the guitar, the ease and warmth of Remi’s stage presence, together with his virtuoso talent, will have concert goers captivated.
