Bio
.......... ...... .. ...... ...... The New Jazz Ministry formed 6 years ago in Lancaster, California with the addition of B.E. Nelson to the "Smooth Stones". By incorporatiing this gifted bassist into the group, came the funky urban sounds of Harlem and the robust Jazz/Rock flavor of the east coast. Melding the advanced improv skills of San Fancisco's legendary "freeform" Sax God, (Snakepit) Eddie Edwards, the two set out to create music that is expressive, mind expanding, captivating, and bumpin. Like Magellan meet Bartok, these two musical explorers laid out melodiously sonic soundscapes that capture the spontaneity and originality of Ornette Coleman, the spirituality of John Coletrane, with the elastic grooves of P-Funk. Check out their music from the fringes to the core, and hear how the "New Jazz Ministry" lay down their "Sermon of Sounds" to the masses. -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HALLOWEEN ...
"When WITCHES go riding,
and BLACK CATS are seen,
the moon LAUGHS and WHISPERS,
‘tis near HALLOWEEN."
THERE ARE NIGHTS WHEN WOLVES ARE SILENT
AND ONLY THE MOON HOWLS!
HAVE A SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN!

"JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE 2 PAINS OF LIFE ...
"We must all SUFFER from ONE of TWO PAINS:
the pain of DISCIPLINE or the pain of REGRET.
The difference is DISCIPLINE weighs OUNCES
while REGRET weighs TONS.”
~ Jim Rohn
"IF ONLY" ~
THOSE MUST BE THE TWO SADDEST WORDS
IN THE WORLD.

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ADVERTISING ...
"Honey, I finally figured out how we could make
ends meet with the new baby arriving ~ so I
sold some ad space to help cover our costs!
It didn't turn out too bad did it?"
ADVERTISING IS THE ART OF CONVINCING PEOPLE
TO SPEND MONEY THEY DON'T HAVE ~ FOR
THINGS THEY DON'T NEED!
HAVE A LAUGH TODAY!

LET FREEDOM and LIBERTY RING !
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LIBERTY ...
Happy 4th of July !
"LIBERTY is the RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
FREEDOM is the result of the RIGHT CHOICE.
FREEDOM is NEVER GIVEN, it is WON.”
THE GREATEST LESSON WE CAN LEARN FROM THE
PAST ... IS THAT FREEDOM IS AT THE CORE OF
EVERY SUCCESSFUL NATION IN THE WORLD! LONG
LIVE LIBERTY AND FREEDOM!

A SALUTE to Fathers Everywhere on Father's Day !
I AM RECORDING A NEW CD THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FATHERS ...
"My FATHER gave me the GREATEST GIFT
anyone could give another person,
he BELIEVED IN ME."
~ Jim Valvano
IT IS EASIER FOR A FATHER TO HAVE CHILDREN
THAN FOR CHILDREN TO HAVE A REAL FATHER!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

ATTITUDE is EVERYTHING ! Make Yours Positive!
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT POSITIVE ATTITUDE ...
"The STATE OF YOUR LIFE
is NOTHING MORE
than a reflection of your STATE OF MIND."
~ Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
TO DIFFERENT MINDS, THE SAME WORLD
IS A HELL OR A HEAVEN! OUR ATTITUDE DEFINES
OUR LIVES!

NEVER EVER EVER QUIT !
The Power of Persistence
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PERSISTENCE ...
"Lots of people LIMIT THEIR POSSIBILITIES by
GIVING UP EASILY. NEVER tell yourself this is
TOO MUCH FOR ME. It's NO USE. I CAN'T GO ON.
If you do you're LICKED, and by your OWN THINKING TOO.
Keep BELIEVING and keep on KEEPING ON."
~ Norman Vincent Peale
FALL SEVEN TIMES AND STAND UP EIGHT!
NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP!

Always READ the fine print !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT EDUCATION ...
"Do you know the difference between education
and experience?
EDUCATION is when you READ THE FINE PRINT.
EXPERIENCE is what you get IF YOU DON'T.”
~ Pete Seeger
NOTHING IN FINE PRINT IS EVER GOOD NEWS!
LIFE IS NOT DIVIDED INTO SEMESTERS. YOU DON'T
GET SUMMERS OFF, AND VERY FEW EMPLOYERS
ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING YOU FIND YOURSELF.
