Remi Harris, at The Stables, Wavendon, December 19. One of the UK’s most exciting jazz and blues guitarists, Remi Harris has a growing international reputation for blending all of his influences into his own individual style of playing. Remi’s performance will feature a variety of acoustic and electric guitars, and he will be joined on stage by long-term collaborator Tom Moore on double and electric bass. Jamie Cullum has described Remi as an “extraordinary musician”, while Total Guitar Magazine praised his “remarkable, genre-defying take on gypsy jazz guitar” and Guitar Techniques Magazine described his standard of playing as “stunning”.
