More than a decade in the making, Contemporary Jazz composer Cal
Harris Jr. is finally set to paint the world in vibrant colors
with the release of his debut album Inside Out. Inside Out
illustrates the story of Harris’s own unique background with an
eclectic marriage of R&B, jazz, funk, soul, blues, and world
music. His story, his gift, and his brand are poised to take the
world by surprise with an extraordinary approach to Contemporary
Jazz.
Cal Harris Jr.'s upbringing in Los Angeles was not a typical
one. His earliest exposure to music took place literally in the
company of legends. As the son of Grammy-nominated sound
engineer Calvin Harris, Cal Harris Jr. grew up wandering the
halls of the renowned Motown Studios in Los Angeles. In fact,
one of his fondest childhood memories was a trip to the candy
store with Melvin Franklin of the Temptations—a treat he would
appreciate even more as an adult. It was within this environment
that Harris. would develop a love affair with music…and a
well-groomed talent.
“I fell in love with arranging music after attending a
Commodores session with my dad. It was a great track and I fell
asleep as they began working on the orchestration. I woke up a
few hours later in a wonder land of music. Soaring strings and
horns, and sizzling cymbal swells. It was amazing to hear the
transformation, an experience I'll never forget.”
It should come as no surprise that Cal Harris Jr. went on a very
sought after sound engineer and producer. In his distinguished
career, he has worked with such music monsters as Earth Wind and
Fire, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Whitney Houston, and Beyonce.
Harris found a comfortable niche as a very sought after
recording engineer, programmer, and keyboard player for music
giants. Still, it wouldn’t be long before he could no longer
control the desire to combine his talents and record his very
own works. The time had come for Cal Harris Jr. push his
abilities to the next level and reveal the gifted composer
within him.
Inside Out boldly demonstrates Cal Harris Jrs. passion and
talent for composition as well as his lifetime of priceless
experiences in the industry. He drives home the idea of creating
solid, seductive, and infectious melodies through impeccable
production. He was involved in nearly every part of the album’s
production, including the writing, keyboarding, saxophone, and
mixing. Harris brought his work to life with the help of
well-respected instrumentalists (and friends) Darrell Crooks,
Yogi Lonich, Shem von Shreck, Harold Todd, Freddie Washington
and Michael White.
The result is a fresh take on Contemporary Jazz that satisfies
the demand for music that transforms, stimulates, and moves
listeners.
“To me a great song is one that when you hear it years later,
you can remember what was going on in your life at the time
because it touched you then and maybe even helped you get
through. Songs like that have been a gift to me and I feel a
responsibility to give that gift to others.” |
