Jerry Harris – Roots & Lovers Review


Multi-talented and accomplished Jamaican artist and producer JERRY HARRIS has always stayed true to his African roots throughout his musical journey.Being musically influenced by his father as early as 14, along with the Jazz and Calypso sounds emanating from Jamaica’s Hotel circuit, as well as receiving encouragement from friends like Junior Murvin, he started his first band “The Young Experience Band” in 1972.Jerry’s migration to NYC in 1975 created many musical opportunities to back-up premium Reggae acts like Burning Spear, Sugar Minott, Ken Boothe and many others. Flying solo in 1982 Jerry worked with Lloyd “Bullwackie” Barnes,  and his debut album “I’m For You” was launched.  

This led to him being a part of the original Japansplash in 1985 with Max Romeo, Judy Mowatt, Alton Ellis, Freddie McGregor, Barrington Levy, Tiger, Nahki,  and Jimmy Riley. This launched his international appeal  and he hasn’t looked back!
