ACCLAIMED jazz and blues guitarist Remi Harris and virtuoso double bassist Tom Moore will present an evening of music ranging from the acoustic jazz of the 1930s and 40s to the electric blues of the 60s and 70s when they visit the dale next month.
The duo will perform at Bowes and Gilmonby Village Hall, on Sunday, December 4.
From the age of seven Remi has dedicated himself to a life as a guitarist.
Influenced by such greats as Django Reinhardt, Peter Green, Wes Montgomery and Jimi Hendrix, his playing has taken him from busking on the streets to performing at prestigious events and venues around the world, including the Montreal Jazz Festival, Buckingham Palace, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum, and on national radio and television.
He has been performing with Tom for more than ten years, during which time they have developed a remarkable musical affinity.
Since graduating from The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Tom has performed across the UK and has appeared at venues including the Royal Albert Hall and The North Sea Jazz Festival, and more recently supporting Jools Holland.
Their show at Bowes will feature an eclectic mix of jazz and blues standards, original compositions, improvisations and new arrangements of familiar tunes.
The show is party of the Highlights Rural Touring scheme autumn season.
Highlights director Kate Lynch said: “Remi and Tom entertained Highlights audiences back in 2018, and we’re delighted to welcome them back this season for yet more extraordinary, innovative and original performances.”
