Lamar Harris
The list continues with the likes of Biz Markie, Common, Doug E Fresh, Eric Roberson, Mos Def, John Legend, Musiq, Goapelle, The Last Poets and the list continues with too many names to mention. Celebrating, preserving, and encouraging music education, Lamar Harris is the band director at a St. Louis Independent School. Giving his all, Lamar Harris incorporates a variety of genres as he gives his audience a coined experience: “gritty-soulful-talking horn,” which journeys them into jazz, hip- hop, R&B, go-go, spoken word, and inspiration. This experience is all highlighted in his debut, “Your All,” coupled with new material from his awaited sophomore CD, “Groove Therapy,” which includes all original, instrumental music written by Lamar Harris.
