Biography

Love, funk and Jazz radiate from the music of Saxman and composer Carl Harris. In his compositions as well as his performances, Carl uses his life experiences to weave musical stories and melodies while engaging the music genres of R&B, pop and jazz as a means to produce powerful soul-searching contemporary jazz music.

His playing style developed as a result of the combination of classical music training from Virginia State College, gigging in R&B bands, and listening to Sax players greats such as Grover Washington Jr. Boney James, and Gerald Albright.

Carl loves music. It is the foundation that keeps him going strong. When life’s events throw him a curve ball he turns to his sax. When he writes music or plays the sax, his heart is filled with joy at the conversations that he feels are emitted from the lyrics and notes.  

Always driven by a seriousness of purpose and an innate ambition for success, Carl’s pursuit of music has been a life long journey. He began playing the piano when he was eight and quickly added the snare drums and the saxophone to the impressive list of instruments that he would come to master.
