Concert Length: 90 min (no intermission) This performance is made possible in part by MUSC About Bruce Harris Bruce Harris, a Bronx-born trumpeter, is an acclaimed musician who blends tradition with innovation in New York City’s vibrant jazz scene. Influenced by the sounds of both Hip-hop and Be-bop, he began playing trumpet at age 12, drawing inspiration from legends like Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Prince. His early talent led him to perform with Wynton Marsalis through the “Essentially Ellington” competition, later studying under Jon Faddis at SUNY Purchase, where he earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Jazz Performance. Harris has since built a celebrated career performing at iconic venues such as Smalls, Smoke Jazz Club, and Dizzy’s Club, as well as appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He has shared the stage with world-renowned artists, including Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. As a recording artist, he has released albums such as Beginnings, Soundview, and The Lighting of the Lamp, with a Barry Harris tribute album forthcoming on Equitone Records. Today, Harris tours globally as a soloist and bandleader, and he is set to honor Louis Armstrong at the renowned Newport Jazz Festival. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/charleston/what-a-wonderful-world-bruce-harris-the-charleston-jazz-orchestra/200030438251827 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, art, jazz, concerts, performances, festivals, fine-arts, contests, dance - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 7 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Charleston - **state**: SC - **country**: United States - **location**: Charleston Music Hall - **lat**: 32.78831 - **long**: -79.9368 - **full address**: Charleston Music Hall, 37 John St, Charleston, SC 29403-6432, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: What a Wonderful World: Bruce Harris + The Charleston Jazz Orchestra - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/1f21615a8c133a3ff73695a29676138c4ca461dfe305233dbcbfd525bbc9e561-rimg-w1200-h676-dc080808-gmir?v=1788242715 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is What a Wonderful World: Bruce Harris + The Charleston Jazz Orchestra being held? - **A:** What a Wonderful World: Bruce Harris + The Charleston Jazz Orchestra takes place on Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 09:30 pm at Charleston Music Hall, 37 John St, Charleston, SC 29403-6432, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing What a Wonderful World: Bruce Harris + The Charleston Jazz Orchestra? - **A:** What a Wonderful World: Bruce Harris + The Charleston Jazz Orchestra is organized by Charleston Jazz. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
