One of the UK’s most exciting guitarists, Remi Harris leads a dynamic trio on a thrilling journey through Gypsy Jazz, Blues, and beyond, with a carefully curated mix of original compositions, jazz standards, and exciting new arrangements of classic tunes.
Harris is joined by double bassist Tom Moore and rhythm guitarist Chris Nesbitt, exceptional musicians in their own right. The trio’s deep musical chemistry and effortless interplay create a mesmerizing show inspired by legendary figures such as Django Reinhardt, Peter Green, Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix, and Joe Pass. Their performances blend technical brilliance with heartfelt expression, offering an evening that is as emotionally engaging as it is musically impressive.
Remi has dedicated himself to mastering the instrument, taking his playing from humble beginnings busking on the streets of his local towns to performing at some of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals. His career highlights include appearances at Buckingham Palace, the Montreal Jazz Festival, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum, and live performances on national radio and television. His ability to seamlessly shift between musical genres, from the virtuosic melodies of Gypsy Jazz to the raw energy of the Blues, is a testament to his versatility and dedication.
Listen to an interview of Remi on Dacorum Radio made this week prior to the stop at BJazz on his extensive tour of the UK:
Tom Moore, who has been performing alongside Harris for over a decade, brings a wealth of experience and musical sensitivity to the trio. Moore has toured extensively across the UK, playing with a variety of ensembles in jazz, folk, and contemporary settings. His deep groove and expressive playing style have taken him to renowned venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and the North Sea Jazz Festival, and he has even shared the stage with Jools Holland. His ability to create a solid yet fluid rhythmic foundation allows the group to explore dynamic musical interactions, giving each performance an organic and spontaneous quality.
Chris Nesbitt, an accomplished jazz and blues guitarist originally from Northern Ireland and now based in the South West, completes the trio with his impeccable rhythm playing. Nesbitt has performed across the UK in various musical styles, from gypsy jazz to rock and R&B. His expertise and adaptability make him an integral part of the group’s dynamic sound, ensuring that each performance is both tight and energetic. His deep understanding of jazz harmony and blues phrasing allows him to complement Harris’ intricate soloing with rich, textured accompaniment.
