Call it funky, call it jazzy, call it whatever you want, but Lamar Harris’s seamless blend of horns, electric sounds and vocals forms an explosive combination.  A respected trombonist, producer, and arranger, Lamar has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the business such as Dwele, Darion Brockington, George Benson, Jaguar Wright, Pieces of A Dream, The Cab Calloway Big Band, Martin Luther, Eric Roberson, Musiq, Common, Chrisette Michele, Earth Wind & Fire, DJ Maj, Dr. John, Good 4 The Soul, Gregg Haynes, The Next Generation Band, and many others. 

Lamar Harris incorporates a variety of genres as he gives his audience "gritty-soulful-talking horn," experience that ourneys them into jazz, hip-hop, R&B, Soul, and Funk. This experience is all highlighted in his debut album, "Your All," as well as his sophomore CD, "Groove Therapy."  His third release which is a fusion of Jazz/Soul and Electronica, “The Here and After,” is to due out in upcoming months.

Lamar is featuring The Georgia Mae, which, among its band members, includes students from the Crossroads College Prep Jazz Orchestra. The Jazz Orchestra has won numerous awards and have appeared at the 2007 Iowa Jazz Festival opening for Don Byron. www.crossroads-school.org.
