The performance runs 90 minutes with no intermission. Supported in part by MUSC. Bronx-born Bruce Harris blends tradition and forward-looking creativity within New York City’s jazz community. Influenced by both hip hop and bebop, he began playing trumpet at 12, drawing inspiration from Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Prince. Early recognition came through the Essentially Ellington program with Wynton Marsalis, followed by studies with Jon Faddis at SUNY Purchase, where he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in jazz performance. Harris has appeared at Smalls, Smoke Jazz Club, and Dizzy’s Club, and on television with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. His collaborations span Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Wynton Marsalis, Dave Brubeck, Samara Joy, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. As a recording artist, he has released Beginnings, Soundview, and The Lighting of the Lamp, with a Barry Harris tribute album forthcoming on Equitone Records. He tours internationally as a soloist and bandleader, serves as Artistic Director of Programs at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in New York City, and is slated to honor Armstrong at the Newport Jazz Festival.
