Harry Kim, Trumpet Player Extraordinairre, is one of the most well-known and well-loved horn players in the world. As the leader of the Vine Street Horns, Harry has played with some of the world's most famous musicians. 

A native of New York City, Harry's Korean background, along with family who came from Cuba gave him a unique perspective and allowed him to explore different musical genres as he began his career as a classical horn player. Eventually he played many genres including funk, Salsa/Caribbean/Mariachi/Persian, Latin-jazz, Disco, Big Band, Pop, Pock and R&B, to name just some. 

Not only is Harry an incredibly gifted musician, he is a larger-than-life personality on stage, popular with fans and loves to share his knowledge. Harry is a motivational speaker and teacher as well as still being a busy working musician. 

Harry worked with Phil Collins for the first time on his "But Seriously..." Album in 1989 and continued to work with Phil through his most recent solo tour, "Not Dead Yet." 

In this interview, Harry shares his unique insight into touring with Phil, Phil's many musical gifts, Phil his friend, his reasons why Phil should be in the RRHOF as a solo artist,  and so much more. 

We spoke so long, the interview had to be broken into two bits--but make no mistake, you will want to listen to it all. Harry's heartfelt delivery and incredible sense of humor will leave you wanting more. And that's good- because there are already plans for a second interview that will feature Harry and Brad Cole! Stay tuned for that...but for now please enjoy Harry Kim!
